how do i disable certain sound events ... for example i created a shortcut over water with lilypads but when i walk over them frog "croak" sounds play

Which version of the mod are you using?

1.12,2-3.4.9.13

Using the Forge mod configuration system you can block any sound in the mod pack. Access by clicking the "Mods" menu item, select "Dynamic Surroundings" from the list on the left, then click "Configure" in the lower left corner. Scroll down the resulting dialog and click "Individual Sound Configuration".

I am assuming you want to block the frog croak sounds. The two sounds you want to block are "dsurround:frog" and "dsurround:bullfrog". Note that these sounds are not footstep related. They are block sounds that will randomly play because the player is in range of the block.

thanks
kinda figured they were not walking over block sound ... but is there a way to just remove lilypad having the frog sounds ? because i kinda like having the sounds in swamps but if i am just walking over a small section of water the amount of sounds produced is to much ...

As indicated to prevent the frog sounds from playing block the above mentioned sounds.

@Adarcer Were you able to block the sound?

yah I can block the sound. but i really just wanted to limit the amount or remove the lilypads from playing the sound so i just dug up my lilypads and stored them. when you have approx 20 in same place walking over them it is like the lilypads are croaking :P i really don't mind the sound for swamps etc. this is not really a big deal instead of using lilypads i can build a small bridge
