Gate activation sounds

Hi,

I've been having some issues with sounds not scaling correctly with zoom, and it gave me a "little thing" idea.

Would it make sense to have the gate activation sound scale with zoom level, just like pretty much every other ship sound effect? Right now when I'm autopiloting or semi-afk traveling I'll just zoom all the way out from my ship... this effectively silences all the ambient, engine, and warp tunnel noises. However, you still hear the gate jumping sound at full volume, as the effect kind-of zooms in on your ship for the jump. Or maybe the activation effect and jump tunnel could be modified to preserve your zoom level?

I know, I know, "Eve has sound?", etc. I like all the ambient sounds, I'd just like everything to be quiet when I'm zoomed out and traveling, and outright disabling the gate activation sounds is a clumsy workaround.
