I'm getting massive background garbage noise now that, after a while, starts to have the 'fingernails dragging across a chalkboard' effect. It's not static... I can tell it's intentional sound... but it's horrible and loud. I really want to make that go away without losing my usual sound effects.

Anyone else noticing this?


Put this in Wormholes forum since that's the only space I've been in recently. Not sure if it is WH specific or not.

There's a new audio effect for cloaking/decloaking, but haven't noticed any background stable static noise.

Yep, i've noticed this too. I am generally more distracted by how crap the rest of the experience is nowadays to care about when my ships decloak, it sounds like a fat hippo undoing a mile of velcro underpants. Remember: feature added.

Doesn't seem to be the cloak/decloak for me. Seems to be general background effects like... wind tunnel effects. Not like warping.. but... loud and annoying. Especially noticeable after jumping into a new system. Sometimes it fades after a while but I haven't been able to find a certain pattern or rule. Sometimes seems to be extra loud if I zoom in on my ship.

Same. Sound is annoying; make it go away. Ugh

Edit: It only happens to me if I've been using scanner probes.

Figured it out. If you enable advanced sounds in Settings > Audio tab, slide 'Modules' down to zero. Completely eliminates these horrible sounds.

Sorry for posting in wrong forum, turns out this has nothing to do with W-Space.

yeah, modules sound went up like, nine billion percent on OceANUS. When i run sites, it's like Negatron yiffing Optimus Prime's oil drain hole every time a Marauder goes into Bastion, even zoomed out 150km. Turn down the module slider to "normal" levels and it sounds like a pair of autoerotic autobots buffing their fenders now.
