Any chance of noise reduction for Choking Cloud?

Anything that toggles on should, if it has a sound effect, fade out after a while IMO.
I run into the same problem with (I think) Peacebringer flight, which has a rather annoying whine alongside it, on top of the normal flight noise.
I also notice a lot of Ice power toggles seem to have sfx that doesnt die off like it should after a while.
Actually, speaking of Kheldians, Id kill to have the end 'chiiiiiiime' part snipped off entirely. When your stacking the first 3 blasts rather frequently, that chime sound gets incredibly annoying. Its at just the right pitch to give me a migraine, and judging by other comments in the past Im not the only one whos not overly fond of it.

Unfortunately there are still quite a few powers that they haven't yet (or decided not to, I don't know which it is) made the sound fade out.
Choking Cloud, Mud Pots, Arctic Air, and some others too . . .
The CC looping sounds are REALLY annoying. So much so that I had to do the "silence" mod on them.
I've got CC, Mud Pots, the new honking car horns, and a few other in-game annoying sounds silenced.
There's a sticky thread around that goes into detail on how to do it without breaking EULA.
It would be nice if the devs got around to fixing this (assuming that it's on the list and they just haven't gotten to it, as opposed to being deliberately left on purpose).
And techbot, I think that whine after all the peacebringer attacks can be silenced seperately from the actual attack sounds. I'll have to check my list of sounds when I get home...

Just to save you from having to hunt it down, here is the thread for silencing game sounds.
Other than that, I haven't much to add. Looping sounds should be killed, period, full stop. Hopefully they'll get around to it.

Sartre once said, "Hell is other people." What does that make an MMO?

Have you ever seen a Peacebringer with all three of his armor toggles up get mezzed? It's fun!|

Yes, Id forgotten about that...don't know why, considering my PB gal is Human form only.
Sheese, I have to play with the sound turned right down when playing her in missions, it drives me freaking insane.
If there is one set in game that needs ALL the sfx looked at and tweaked, its PBs. BADLY.
Although Mudpots and Arctic Fog, along with CC, are pretty bad offenders too.

TechBot, I don't play PB's (just can't get into them), but you could try these:
This is from the "how to silence" thread.
Photon seeker loop -- Powers -- glow6_loop; glow9b_loop; elecZaps_loop
Peacebringer fly/hover -- Powers -- Flight2_loop
Peacebringer high-pitched whine: flight & blasts -- Powers -- peaceeyes1
Peacebringer shapeshift "boom" -- Powers -- nova4
Peacebringer shield toggles -- Powers -- glow6_loop; glow9b_loop
Of course some of these may be/probably are used for other sound effects as well...

Thats the problem. I dont mind the actual power sfx for PBs. The shapeshift boom, the attack 'hits', etc.
Its the aftereffect, the high pitched 'whiiiiiiiiine' that you hear when you select PBs on the char creation screen. It pops up after EVERY attack, every toggle, even flying. It stacks, too. And gets REALLY annoying...

I'll probably try it later tonight, as I've already got all the silencing stuff configured and can just pop in the silencer and try it, but I think just using the "Powers -- peaceeyes1" one will get rid of the whine without affecting anything else (except maybe the laser eyes, not sure if that's the only sound for the laser eyes or if there's a peaceeyes2 or something as well).

Hello, my name is Soulwind and I have Alt-Itis.
Update: I just tested it, and silencing "peaceeyes1" will get rid of the Whine after all the power attacks on PeaceBringers, while leaving the rest of the attack sound intact.
Even Glinting Eye still has it's attack sound, just the high pitched whine is gone.
The powers do sound a bit different without the whine playing in the background, but it's not bad....more "energy" sounding.

Hello, my name is Soulwind and I have Alt-Itis.
This is probably posted in entirely the wrong place, but since this is the place I'm currently in, I thought I'd give it a try. Is there any chance of having the noise from Radiaton's Choking Cloud power fade away after awhile, like the noise from Mud Pots does? The power itself is great, I really love it....but I find myself frustrated from the constant and unending noise it makes. After a very short while I have to shut it off completely or risk getting a headache. Maybe you could consider making just this one small change to the power, while you're still in "changing things" mode?
