Feedback: Power Sound effects

Sonic attacks. Specially awful on females. Need their own gene or more unisex sounds.
Tarzan screem for tough, and some of the defensive sets. Silly. Period.

Hibernate needs a sound for when you're breaking out of the ice. Like the Ice Block transformation.

I definatly agree with the changes that need to be made to the sonic set. Id like the option for high pitched screaming and deep roars for toons that use their voice, and maybe something more electronic for robot toons using speakers.

One of the problems I have at the moment is my Dark Control powers. Some of them have a strange 'Wumm wumm' to them which seems disjointed from the set. Can we have some quiet screaming or moaning when the spirts are swirling around a mob instead? Also with the AoE hold, id like a haunting roar as the shadow hands come out and wrap around the mob. I feel silly having to add my own sound effects.

Any chance to mute the pet sound effects on the new Beast Mastery set? The sounds of the wolves yelping in pain when hit seemed to be difficult for many members of a team I recently played with, as many of them were dog lovers.

Seriously, someone...ANYONE...needs to shut that damn umbra dog up!

PLEASE! DEVS! Please just a quick post to say, 'Were working on it' will do. We just need to know that someone can hear us over this damn barking!

Ta da!

Why does Greater Fire Sword sound like a screeching large bird?

Havent read the entire thread, but:

Objective:
Gravity Control- with the changes to the way the set works, spamming propel and the Lift(?) power ends up with a really really annoying and spammy/repetitive sound, turn them down at the least, or move them into a lower frequency range so they are not as jarring over a long period of time. Throw them through a dual band filter then run a compressor with a really low ceiling on anything over 3.5k, everything under that is fine.

Subjective:
create two extra sound files to be randomly used for every similar power(blasts, melee, aoe, buff, debuff, thematic) in a set. Watch as players rejoice when a power does an unexpected sound every 20th(?) activation.

Sonic:
Sonic sounds do not actually have to be "sound based", in as much as an amplifier hum can make people think of electric guitars, activation periods for powers can be used to playback audio "set ups".
for example, take the snipe from Sonic blast(not even sure if sonic blast even exists lol :P ) having a sound file that builds in volume and bandwidth PRIOR to the power actually going off, and then cutting to a white noise fizz during the power firing animation, would be far more impressive and awe inspiring (IMHO) then having a person open their mouth and firing off the power, accompanied by wibbley wobbley zap/screech noises.

Using Sound Pressure to damage things can be achieved via both ends of the spectrum, but ultimately if you have enough Sound Pressure Level you can theoretically shake anything to pieces, so frequency range is less important then raw Pressure. Alluding to the power necessary to achieve this kind of destruction, can be achieved by actually Dropping audio volume. The ideal would be that when this hypothetical Sonic Snipe finally does go off, all players in the vicinity would be momentarily Unable to Hear, and thusly ... silence would be far more eloquent, for displaying such a power, then Noise!

Oh and if you did make a Sonic Snipe drop everyones ingame audio levels... as much as I would think it was cool I'm sure some people would feel violated somehow, perhaps over a loss of control(?) .... but in the end it would be less violating then horrible noise ... esp. horrible high frequency noise (which incidently is far more damaging to our hearing).

Actually, when it comes to pet sounds in general, I wouldn't mind something like Pet Sounds off under Options. This would not only effect MM pets but Controller/Dominator pets as well. This would take care of the Umbra beast sound while also the other pet howls that everyone finds moderately annoying sometimes.

This would be handy for powers with sound effects that get old fast like beam rifle. As well Demon summoning any thing to stop them from growling all the time.
