I've experienced it too....kinda like my toon is doing the Jackhammer emote everytime I zone.
Yes, I get this when the character logging in is in an area with a lot of background sounds. It's like the sounds are building up and then playing all at the same time once you're loaded, which increases their volume.

Same here, I even updated my sound drivers. No change.
Yup, I get it, too. Sounds like being right under an elevated railway - very clacky and loud.
Out of curiosity, do those of you having this problem have 3D sound enabled?
If so, does disabling it help?

I've noticed this as well problem as well, and no I don't have 3D sound enabled. It doesn't seem to occur every time I load into a zone, but I'd say at least 50% of the time, and every time I load a new toon in for the first time.|

EDIT: I'm not using a stand-alone sound card. I'm using an on-board HD-capable sound card.
Yep, I get it every time I log in and occasionally on zoning; it's generally kind of a loud rumble for me. It's not as loud for me as for most of you, but then again I generally play with SFX turned down to 15%... and this is at least twice as loud as a battle.
Win7, Asus mobo with onboard SoundMAX Digital HD Audio. It's an annoying bug, but I have to admit it's lower priority than many other bugs I've run into since it only lasts 1-2 seconds.

I get this also, like a train speeding by, usually only when i first log in though, or make a new char, I oddly thought it was the train hero side, till i realiesed wait i'm on villains!
The end is just a new beginning, Goodbye all my coh friends and even the enemies, its been a blast I will miss you all. Thank you Paragon team, you gave me a home from home I will always appriciate it.
I just figured it was a Linux bug. Good to know it isn't -- I'll adjust the AppDB report I'm preparing.
*signed* See (hear) it here as well.
We're aware of this issue and looking into it.

It's never happened while zoning for me. But happens 100% of the time when I first load a character after logging in.

This can be tested by logging out somewhere quiet like Ouroboros, or somewhere with distinct sounds like Pocket D and then hearing what it's like loading up again with those toons.

Anyway, for a controlled test I just tried a character logged into the Talos police station, and got the Talos background noise build up and play like a loud static burst during the progression of the loading bar until I was fully in game (surprisingly it was not the police station sirens and radio chatter, just the background ambient city sounds that played loud). Relogged the character in a remote part of Ouroboros and had the background sounds play during loading but they did not build up in volume.
I have music off, 3d on, and running a Creative X-Fi Xtreme with Win 7 64 bit driver version 5.12.1.2018.
I'll do more testing when I get a chance.

Whenever I load into a city zone, I'm greeting with what sounds like the car engine sound, only with the volume ramped up to 100 for a few brief seconds before the zone finishes loading.
Does anyone else get this? Any way to stop it?

Allied to all sides so that no matter what, I'll come out on top!
Oh, and Crimson demands you play this arc-> Twisted Knives (MA Arc #397769)
