## Syntax

```lua
bool setSoundMinDistance(sound sound, float distance)
```

## Parameters

| Name | Type | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `sound` | `sound` | The `sound` element. On the client a `dui` element also works, for the browser's sound. |
| `distance` | `float` | The distance in metres. |

## Returns

`true` if the sound was found, `false` otherwise.

Between the min and max distance the volume fades out; beyond the max distance the sound is silent.

local radio = playSound3D("sounds/radio.ogg", 2495.1, -1687.4, 13.5, true)
setSoundMinDistance(radio, 10)
setSoundMaxDistance(radio, 50)
