I may be a bit late here, but I think I've found a bug in the Sound Script Editor... every time I save the ssc file, the Trigger function changes from Volume to Release. So I go into the ssc file with Notepad and use it's replace function to replace trigger Release back to trigger Volume.
EDIT: I did try set the trigger to Release in the Sound Script Editor, and that shows up as Volume in the ssc in Notepad. So they've must been swapped...
That worked for me when I changed the sound effects for my own made tank.
