EVE General Discussion

it is so annoying during scanning sessions that I had to turn it down to 0 volume permanently.
Usually, zooming out of window reduces noise, yet not in this specific case. The sound is unpredictable and unsilenceable other than switching it completely off in audio settings.

You used to be able to turn this down to an acceptable level until they patched it.

They REALLY want us to hear that weird, annoying, droning sound when we scan.

... and nothing of value was lost actually

That tortured bird sound immediately after going to scanner map and repeating often is my main gripe. The patch destroyed my ability to tone it down without ridding almost all other sounds (i.e. hacking sounds).

These sounds are intentional, and especially detrimental to explorers, who scan for hours on end. My only guess is that some knuckleheads at CCP are getting a kick out of annoying the h*** out of players who thrive on exploration. Some random electronica would be much more realistic and tolerable than jungle sounds in a sewer maze.

Someone decided this was an improvement to the game when exploration was tweaked?

It seems another indication that persons who inflict this on players do not play this part of the game themselves, or they too would realize how obnoxious it is.

I like the sound. it makes me feel like i'm in a submarine (in a space ship) (in space) (sans sound) but it still sounds like a cheesy WWII sub movie. Toggle it but don't remove it please. I like it.

scanning?) phhh

Imagine that wh dwellers lost their ability to lower wormhole's sound to be able hear just jumps, but not the usual wh sound.
They usually have alt sitting on wh, cloaked - hence the pain come from.

Now they have to hear that crappy wh sound, which I have lowered down once i heard i far ago...

I also would love this toned down to about 1/2 or 1/3 of its volume.

not a fix yet a workaround. around CCP's utterly terrible sound creators.

if this was possible, people would still play Red Moon Rising Expansion of eve, or whatever was the favorite those days.
