I can attest that you guys will love this once it goes in. Glacial Armor has already had this treatment, and I swear its like magic to my eardrums.
Hmmm... actually, I'll love it too, as my next and line to make the climb happens to be a BS/DA Scrapper.

I will pay you to do the same for Superspeed. Seriously. Tell me where, and I will send you, uh... barterable goods or something.
whoaaah, hold on a second. i think my monitor's broken. and my eyes. da sfx are *really* going to get tuned down? like for real and stuff? holy cats sleeping with dogs. after all of these months of suspecting the sound guy stabbing at anyone with a pen that came close to his loops? this isn't some kinda evil practical joke is it? i mean, this tweak will make it to da scrappers too, not just brutes?...

Why don't they set it up so that you can choose if the sounds fade out or not? Add a toggle switch in the Options menu or something.
[/ QUOTE ]
Not just a toggle, but add a slider there for how long before it fades (should you choose to have it fade). That way, those who hate the sound entirely, can set it to 0 (no sound at all), and those who don't mind it, but don't want it on all the time, can set it higher (10 seconds, 30 seconds, a minute, whatever).

I can finally start my DA brute! Great news!
The City of Heroes Community is a special one and I will always look fondly on my times arguing, discussing and playing with you all. Thanks and thanks to the developers for a special experience.
I think it is totally awsome that more of the looping sounds will fade out like Super Jump. Hopefully it will be all of them.
Untill it goes live though, check out this:
How to silence specific game sounds
It is from the CoH guides forum.
It explains how to silence specific game sounds in a manner that is acceptable to them. Please note that "acceptable" does *not* mean supported, as explained in that thread.
3 Cheers for Jonyu! I've been waiting for that change for a LONG damn time.

Awesome - thanks!!

Guys, I totally told you all that Jonyu is the man.
Seriously. 
He's more awesome than Castle.

Ok, this is funny. Just had to post about it. Castle was always a prude though. She kept looking at me funny... 
Too many 50's to list...
I usually turned the sound down to 35% Sound effects, 0% music (I run my own) and go DA anyway. DA is THE [censored].
nothing and no one can touch you if you have all of the DA pool.
You can't spell Slaughter without laughter
All your gonna do is just farm behemoths anyways.

Whoah, Castle's a she? All this time I had a serious misconception going on.
/em hopes he hasn't made any blunders in posts addressed to Castle
Anyway, this is fantastic news for DA. I played my EM/DA brute to 10 in a day then shelved him because of the massive headache he gave me. Now I can play him again. 
Awsome news!!!
Please let SUPERSPEED be one of those.
The constant droning gets old after a while.
Frankly, the entire set of looped sounds needs to fade out. Its not like I can't look at my icons to see what's running. I don't need to HEAR them.
Oh sure, look into cutting the DA noise loop now but it's Too LATE! Those blasted noises are permenately imbeded into my brain. *runs in circles, scoots on the floor and then gnaws on a door frame*
((really really looking forward to the change!))

IMHO it should be a user preferance under sound to have it fade out or stay. Won't even go down the road of making it setable by power

Please say this applies to the sound Shadow Cloak makes on Warshades - I usually have to pop a couple of Excedrin before I play my WS most nights.

I _really_ hope this change also applies to Unyielding. That hum is very annoying.
DA is so annoying as it stands, that I hardly ever play min DA scrapper. Don't know why it wasn't fixed months ago.
Speaking of force field sounds, the fadeout is great but it does fail in one case : Robotics Masterminds.
The Protector Bot is re-casting the force fields so often that the sound keeps renewing every time, and I end up having to listen to the noise for half of my mission anyway..... 
Maybe we can make it so that the individual-use FF's make no sound at all, and only the area toggles like Dispersion make the initial sound, fading out.
Since the very beginning of CoH when I rolled one I have been wondering why the sound has not been gotten rid of.I can only imagine someone thinks it is adorable and signature to the power set.
I do wish they get over it and fix it once and for all.I would dearly love to make a DA brute.
Maybe they don't want to make the artist that came up with the sound feel bad. Somebody designed that sound, and somebody else approved it so...
You know, some people like the sounds, and others can't stand them. Why don't they set it up so that you can choose if the sounds fade out or not? Add a toggle switch in the Options menu or something. That way, everyone is happy.
