Odd sound effect

I'm currently running a Spines/Fiery Aura Scrapper. In the past, I've had Fiery Aura toons Tankers/Brutes/Scrappers, but its been a while. I've noticed only recently on this new toon that Burn seems to activate a strange techie/warbling sound effect when I cast it and it hits a mob.

It never makes the sound when I cast it with no mobs present. It only makes the sound, once, when there is a mob in range and I cast it. The sound reminds me of the sound made by a Mind Control Troller's Telekinesis.

I don't recall this sound being present with any of my other Fiery Aura toons. Can anyone out there tell me what this sound is supposed to be about?

I've never heard anything like that on my Fire Brute. Have you gone back to an older character and checked if it does it to them too?

Yep, that's it. I don't hear the sound when I use burn and don't have Secondary Mutation active. But I do hear it when I do have Secondary Mutation active.

Thanks TameDragon!

Same thing happens with other buffs (Hasten and Accelerate metabolism as examples) and pseudo-pets. My tar patch gets a nice Hasten glow in the middle of it on one of my characters, and on another character my Ice Patch gets Accelerate Metabolism ( as well as the Secondary mutation now ).

It was annoying as hell trying to figure it out tbh when I first heard it, it was my partner who spotted the blue from secondary mutation appearing so we ended up testing the theory.

Good to know it's sorted

Ah, yeah, that makes sense. It's probably a side effect of them fixing pseudo-pets to inherit buffs (especially Acc and Dam) of the owner. My Devices Blaster's Gun Drone inherits any Inspiration or click-buff powers that he has running when casting the drone and it used to also have the Hasten glow but I think it doesn't get that anymore.
