I've never noticed any continuing sound, but if it bothers you simply go to the tailor and change the FX to "minimal FX"... it completely turns off all sound and visuals from the Invuln toggles.

If you're talking about the annoying sound that sounds like a combination of a Rikti Hum combined with a beating drum - I've run into it also. Extremely annoying.... and I've bug reported it.

That is good news indeed.
Yeah, it seems to play whenever the Invincibility Aura hits a foe. The bug/issue/whatever causes the Invincibility activation sound fx to replay... so if you're surrounded by mobs, as a Tanker tends to be, it plays A LOT.
I ran a Sister Psyche with my Invuln/Mace, and it was quite annoying... I just played with my volume down. Hopefully a fix will come soon, as this is more annoying for Invince players and their teammates than that chat bug that was around for awhile.

I noticed on SR when I utilize Minimal FX at the costume screen, it also killed off the sound FX. This fact made me squee a bit.
Has anyone checked to see if Minimal FX for Invul does the same?
Be well, people of CoH.

Just now and yes, it completely eliminates the annoying sound loop! At least we have a workaround now.
Good call Bill.PS: signature line pic... eeesh

That must be why I haven't noticed it on my Invuln; ever since issue 16 hit I've been using the no FX option on the costume I actually use. No sounds or graphics at all on the toggles, even when you activate them. Just the activation animations and that's all.|

I've only bothered changing one of my 5 costume slots; it just hadn't seemed worthwhile. Hey, I noticed last night that CMA has 105 free costume tokens

Glad to hear its fixed, and the minimal-fx tip is a great work around. I dusted off my invul tank to stress test with the new difficulty settings and target for my next IO project... but promptly shelved him again after listening to that.

Anybody notice Invincibility's "rays" of light emanating from your body no longer show up, aven when using "Bright" settings?

Had this happen to me also. Very annoying, it goes off with every tick.
I've only recently gotten Invincibility on my new tanker but this past Saturday I was running him and we were hearing this mechanical noise while fighting enemies. It sounded a little like a sewer pump.
At first I thought it was the trolls we were fighting and filed a bug report. But when we got outside and were ambushed by tsoo they were making the noise too.
