I am scout in game and I have to press d-scan button every 5-10 seconds. To hear this "GONG" sound is hell!
Please swich it off or make it optional please!

Yes, you will say swich it off in-game sound options

BUT! You cant swich off this certain GONG sound, becase if you mute it , you mute group of sounds in game, some of this sounds are usefull

Please separate or make it optional or swich it off or make additional volume button for this awful GONG sound

Sonar, give me one sonar ping to target. One...single...ping.

Considering this game is oft-referred to as underwater submarine simulator, sending out active sonar pings seems rather apropos.

Let's discuss overhauling the way we get intel in EvE.

Which turns of all sounds of that category, which is not what people want. I rather like to hear when my probes cycle, the radial menu does what I want it to do (and hear when it does not), among other things.

My ridicule, heavy criticism and general pale outlook about your or CCP's ideas is nothing but an encouragement to prove me wrong. Give it a try.

I like the sound effect, and I've lived in wormhole space for years and do several hours of scanning and d-scanning every day. I agree it should be its own setting; but that doesn't negate the fact that I still like it and fully support them adding little pieces like this into the game to make it more immersive. Great work CCP, keep it up please!

It is a stupid sound, I think.
