Module Activation Sound Removed by CCP

A month ago I submitted a bug report indicating that I no longer received any audible feedback when activating inv field, DC, or cloak. Didn't receive any feedback on my bug report for over a month, so I created a petition. I was originally instructed by the GM to clear my cache and reset my settings. Reported that nothing changed, then received a second response from the GM informing me that CCP had removed the module activation sound. The GM advised that I post this information in this form if I wanted the feature returned.

I find it more helpful than annoying. Other thoughts?

Life is short. Have fun.

eve has sound?Cool

edit --
game sounds are turned up?
you can hear (ingame) music?
sounds outside of EVE work?
you don't have "quiet turret sounds" checked? (IIRC, this affects all mods... could be wrong)
you're close enough to hear things? (IIRC, incarna/Crucible have tweaked the "activation range" of the sounds).

One of the bitter points of a good bittervet is the realisation that all those SP don't really do much, and that the newbie is having much more fun with what little he has. - Tippia

Ha! Yep. All sounds enabled. Thanks. The GM reported CCP removed the feature.

hm, that's odd ... could've sworn I was hearing modules cycle last night... though we were right on top of a POS, so it could have been that...

Oh, yes there are sounds as you mouse over the modules and sound associated with the inv field after it has been activated. What's missing is the "dink" sound just after activation.

Is anyone interested in having this feature returned?
