Solution you'd like:

Currently DUI shows a chat bubble with three dots when someone is speaking locally. TFAR/ACRE have an issue where it is difficult to tell someone's Voice Volume (for TFAR, whisper vs. speaking vs. yelling) without walking far away, because both systems generally do not raise the point-blank volume from the signal TS3 gives them.

Distinctions between whispering, speaking, and yelling comrades can be very important. When entering a stealthy area of operations, for instance, one may want to ensure all squadmates are only whispering.

For whispering, show a chat bubble with two dots or a tilde.
For talking, show the default, three dot, chat bubble.
For yelling, show a chat bubble with exclamation points inside.

This needs more thoughts put into it as it needs to support 3 radio mods.

Tfar stable|beta has 3 speaking volumes: whisper, talk and yell
ACRE has 5 speaking modes: whisper, louder whisper, talk, louder talking, yell

I am very certain that the volume values for any mod are NOT synced over network in arma itself but by the TS extension. So that needs research as well.

Additionally new icons need to be created to show the change. 5 icons total are needed then to support all mods.

ACRE would need a remote pass to get this local value from each client, maybe requested (each time?) they begin or stop talking. Could be a bit of network traffic in larger DUI Radar groups.
