How to silence specific game sounds
I have a corrupter with Arctic Fog, so I'll track the sounds down for you and post them. I can't promise I'll get it done tonight...but I WILL get it done. I'll try for tonight though.

Tried, in powers and enemies folders :
powersfog.ogg
powersfog2.ogg
powersfog_loop.ogg...

That was your problem. You tried "powersfog_loop.ogg" instead of "fog_loop.ogg." The "powers" part of it was wrong. I assume either you or MrNoj got the name "powersfog_loop.ogg" from the list that thingamajig provided a link to a few posts ago. You must have missed that in that list is says the first part of the name is actually the folder the file goes in...not the file name. So, when it says "powersfog_loop.ogg" it actually means "fog_loop.ogg" in the "powers" subfolder. I can't imagine why the creator of the list chose to list the powers that way, because it is obviously confusing. They should have been listed as "powers\fog_loop.ogg" since that is the proper way to denote a filepath.
Anyway, here are the Arctic Fog sounds (all go in the \Powers\ subfolder):
<font class="small">Code:[/color]<hr /><pre>Arctic Fog's Start: blizzard.ogg
chillhands.ogg
Arctic Fog's Loop: fog_loop.ogg</pre><hr />
Dwimble it worked, yay!
Sweet, sweet silence and more importantly I can now hear the other sounds in the game, huzzah!
You're my hero of the week

The one that peeves me
The sound of the /traps ForceField Generator expiring.
I always think it's a grenade going off and get a shock.
I would DEARLY like to know which OGG file this is.
Both public (in the thread) and via PM (so I find out ASAP).

Choking Cloud, from Radiation Emission?
I don't mind the startup noise, but it keeps bubbling and gurgling and sounding like I have intestinal distress.
Also, has anyone noticed that some (not all) COSTUME auras have sound effects? Or am I just crazy?
Can anyone tell me which files make up the looping sound for the Energy Melee attacks?
I tried powers/energycore1_loop through energycore5_loop and Intel2_loop as well as intel_loop, no luck so far.
Still looking for the correct files. Anyone out there able to help me out?

Took me faaar too long but I finally found it:
ForceField5_loop.ogg
Thx for the desent info all!
suuuuwwweeeeet!!
You sir, are a god!
Thanks also to Impkin. I was about to give up on Energy Melee.
Anyone found Rage's looping sound yet?

A search of the thread finds a post by puddle:

oh thank god I found them.
rage loop is: glow6_loop.ogg
unyielding: forcefield5_loop.ogg
[/ QUOTE ]
Description: Rage looping sound
Folder name: powers
File name: glow6_loop.ogg
Description: Unyielding looping sound
Folder name: powers
File name: forcefield5_loop.ogg
I don't have a toon with rage so if that isn't it, please let us know.
As anyone who has read the thread can see, many of the less popular sounds share the same files.
"forcefield5_loop.ogg" is used for quite a few that people request. There are some others like this in the 'dark' power sets.
If you are having trouble finding the right file to silence a sound not specifically mentioned in this thread yet I suggest trying ones already mentioned for other powers that don't match the name.
Example:
"forcefield5_loop.ogg" shows up in this thread for 4 different powers, none of them having anything like "forcefield" in the power name.

An easy way to search only this thread is to click "(show all)" near the top right of the thread. Then press CTRL+F to get your browser to pop-up a find window.

Please share any new information for file names that match a specific power sound not already listed, even if that particular file has.
Thanks a ton thingamajig!
I'll still email the list to whoever PMs me with an email address but now people don't have to wait for me to check my messages (I don't check them everyday).
Worth mentioning is that any file with "***" after it in thingamajig's pages are sounds I've silenced but at a time when I wasn't keeping track of what made that sound. These files may match a sound that is hard to track down. Try them if none of the more obvious ones match up.

I don't have a player on live with this power, only on test. However, my attempts to silence sounds on test has as of yet be unsuccessful. (it is past 5am, no sleep yet).
[/ QUOTE ]
The base location for all sound files used when playing on the live servers is:
C:\Program Files\City of Heroes\data\sound\ogg\
The base location for the test server is:
C:\Program Files\CoHTest\data\sound\ogg\
This assumes that you installed the game to its default directory. If you installed it someplace else then you should know enough to adapt this information to fit your custom installation.
Help. Please. Before I go mad and just start laughing hysterically while sobbing as teammates drop dead.
If anyone has been able to identify the sound effect for "Warmth", please let me know what it is. Given that the sound becomes progressively louder and more aggravating the more people are within healing range, the less inclined my corruptor is to use it.

What do I use to silence Portal Corp portals?

These things had me cursing at my computer. They use 4-5 different sounds and some of them aren't obvious from the names. Unfortunately at the time I did it (about 7 months ago), I wasn't taking notes. CoH is currently unplayable for me due to the mega-patch (I6) causing severe rubber-banding and mapserver disconnects. It took me 20min to go from the tram in Sky to about half-way to the TI exit where I gave up.
Try these, Folder\file name:
Peregrine\reactor1_loop.ogg
Peregrine\reactor2_loop.ogg
Tech\Room3x_loop.ogg
Tech\spacemachine1m_loop.ogg
Tech\spacemachine1_loop.ogg
Tech\Teslaroom1_loop.ogg
Tech\Teslaroom2_loop.ogg
Tech\Teslaroom3_loop.ogg
Tech\Teslaroom4_loop.ogg
Things should calm down in about a week and I'll verify these if no one else has by then.

Thank you. I did these but still get some more sounds. One sounds like a train.
Any other suggestions?
I don't suppose anyone's found the whistle used for thug masterminds' summons? FWIW I think it's the same as the one that the scrapyarder foremen use to summon enraged miners. ^_^
"I think you're confused. This is /b, not /b/."
The 8-1-06 patch introduced a sound bug. Several powers have an erroneously added sound effect sort of like a yell. This is the information to get rid of it.
Description: an angry yell, toon gender specific
Folder name: player
File names: Female_Rage.ogg, Male_Rage1.ogg
This sound effect may be a legitimate one for some powers. Silencing this sound will effect anything that uses it.
Has anyone happened to figure out what sound file the Thug Enforcers use for their Uzi Cone Blast? This is the first cone attack that's currently silent for many people and extremely hard to hear for the few that get anything at all.
Thanks!

Please help me to silence the sound from Healing Aura/Twilight Grasp/Warmth. The high pitched ZING and the followup sound wobble. Tremendously annoying while playing a /Dark MM and spamming Twilight Grasp. Also very annoying on my /Empathy Controller. Definately gives me a headache trying to heal my fire monkeys. Thanks in advance.
Tested those, and sadly not
Tried, in powers and enemies folders :
