Zeemods Store Reference

Use this quick guide to understand the terms and labels used across Zeemods products, so you know exactly what you’re getting before you buy.

 

The Generation (G3, G4, G5 etc).

This label represents the sound design standard of each product. Over time, new features, improved editing techniques, and updated recording methods have defined each generation.

 

G5 (5th Generation) is our latest and most advanced standard, featuring:

 

  • 360° recording and processing for complete spatial accuracy.
  • Enhanced balance, depth, and realism across all perspectives.
  • Full integration with ZAF, enabling expanded in-game sound functionality.

ZAF - Zeemods Audio Framework.

ZAF is a proprietary plugin developed by Zeemods to extend and enhance the audio capabilities of Euro Truck Simulator 2 and American Truck Simulator. It introduces a range of immersive features not available in the base game, including:
 
  • Temperature-based engine fan control with automatic and manual override modes.
  • Trailer reefer (refrigeration) sounds featuring start-up, idle, run, and stop states, with selectable Continuous, Automatic, or Off modes.
  • Expanded interior sound environment, including wiper drag on dry glass, detailed gear shifter sounds (split and range), separate up/down window controls, ignition sequences, and more.
  • Additional exterior effects, such as park brake engagement, ignition, and ABS self-test sounds for modern trucks.
  • And much more!

The ZAF Ready logo indicates that the pack has been updated to incorporated ZAF related features.

Exhaust diameter options.

Each Zeemods engine pack is recorded from real trucks fitted with specific exhaust setups, and the pipe diameter plays a major role in shaping the overall tone and character.

 

  • Stock pipes usually have mufflers, or Adblue system that produce a reduced exhaust note.
  • 5–6" pipes produce a sharper, more “shrill” tone with quicker pulses.
  • 7" pipes offer a balanced mix of bass and clarity.
  • 8–9" pipes deliver a deeper, slower note with strong low-frequency presence.

Each version is recorded from real trucks equipped with those specific stack sizes, ensuring authentic differences between every option. As development continues, we plan to expand the range of exhaust size options so you can choose the exact sound that best matches your personal preference or truck style.

 

IE Packs - Interior & Effects Packs.

Our Interior & Effects (IE) Packs are flagship enhancement mods, designed specifically for each truck manufacturer and model — for example, the Peterbilt 389 or Kenworth W900. Each pack delivers a rich, detailed in-cab soundscape, covering every element from switches and levers to ambient cabin noise. They also include all of the additional interior sounds utilised by ZAF, ensuring complete integration and an immersive driving experience.
