Boah, I just nearly went insane.

I just began hearing a very high pitched noise which i am extremely allergic to and i don't even know if you all can hear it (i can even hear the traps on cars you have against marten...)

it's also a sound old power supplys would have or ones that were about to fail... so i naturally searched there first for the sound... second was my boxes where i noticed that the sound was coming from them. first i thought they were defective then i noticed that the sound went off when moving my shuttle...

and while you are at it i would have some more ideas for you. as minmatar ships are rusty (so they say), why don't you implement a standby sound like forks scratching in a plate or fingernails on a blackboard...

Eve is telling you something.... dont fly shuttles, they just arent the pimpmobiles theyre made out to be.

Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings?

I hear it too. It's probably about a 16-17 KHz tone. It started on 2012-12-04 and is bloody unbearable.

same issue with the Caldari Shuttle, I think zooming way out lessened it, but it's unbearable.

Hmm. I thought it was when i was in a POS shield, but maybe it is the shuttle.

I get it with both amarr and gallente shuttles too.

Painful the first couple of times when I didn't expect it.

Apparently some people can hear it and other's can't.



with the prevalence of high volume headsets and headphones, it's not surprising at all that most people cannot hear anything above 15k hz.

Yep, it's been like this since the retribution patch. I have filed a bug report, I suggest you do the same. I already made a coupla threads on this, but they solved nothing. I don't see making multiple bug reports making a difference either. But if multiple people submitted bug reports in game, then they might give the issue more attention. It certainly needs attention.

Enough ringing in their ears already to filter it out? Blink

You play EVE, so there's a good chance you are already insane. You only just realized it.

I don't know who would possibly think implementing this was a good idea. The sound hurts my brain! X

I get to hear all kinds of high pitched sounds now that are utterly annoying.

I logged on today for the first time in almost a month. I heard that noise, and though it was something to do with the gates while I was traveling. It stopped when I zoomed out away from my ship. It's definitely the shuttles, and it's extremely annoying.

I hope they patch this soon.

Those of you who can't hear this are suffering from hearing loss, my condolences to you.

This sound is ******* unbearable and needs to be removed asap.
