Make sounds audible from far away?

[uncut viper]

I've noticed there's a cutoff for my sound at 16 blocks away from the player that it's played at.
The way I do it is this:
world.playSound((PlayerEntity)null, user.getX(), user.getY(), user.getZ(), ModSounds.GUNSHOT_MAKAROV, SoundCategory.PLAYERS, 1.0F, 1.0F / (world.getRandom().nextFloat() * 0.4F + 1.2F) - f * 0.5F + 1.0F);

It does get scaled over 16 blocks, maybe you can find where it scales by following the method calls?

you could add a mixin and override the scaling if it's one of your own mod sounds
