Overview

OldWormSound is very simple; it simply restores the worm sounds from before 0.15.

Details

Prior to 0.15, worms made a deep roaring-like noise when attacking. In that update, that sound was changed to one that sounds like someone fighting back the urge to vomit. In 0.18, new sounds were added, which now sound like someone actually vomiting. While perhaps thematically appropriate, these noises, aside from being gross, are far less intimidating than the old sounds.

As a result, OldWormSound replaces the 0.15-era sounds entirely, restoring the old roars. For the new attack sounds, it mixes those with the old sounds, resulting in something that still sounds right while also being intimidating and not overly "wet".

Additionally, the mod adds size-specific sounds (louder and deeper with increasing size), something never really present with vanilla worm sounds. This results in the larger and more dangerous worms having a very distinct and threatening audio profile that, as it did for years before 0.15, screams "evacuate the area immediately".
