			Did, like, anyone actually listen to this pet before it was put in the game? I mean, like, really listen to it, in the game, check it's volume, check how often it makes noises, that kind of thing? Just curious. 	
----
			Oh, that one. I was excited about unlocking that one, he does look great. I don't think he lasted 5 minutes before getting unsummoned. Now he only gets to come out of petspace when I'm doing something with music on so loud I can't hear the game anyway.	
----
			If they toned him down, or made his noises further apart, or both, it would be nice. All the pets make some kind of noise, but the Dagun just hit a nerve somehow. I've found like 4-5 pets since him, but I haven't stopped using my Augmented Buzzbing. His buzzing is surprisingly tolerable, like white noise.	
----
			I think the dagun is so noticeably awful because this game has such wonderful sound design. The sounds in this game are like 90% awesome... and then we have things like the dagun, or the marauder grill decor, etc, that feel like they somehow slipped by security. Grating, constant, loud, and out of place. 	
----
			So like a real dog then? 	
----
			I hope this thread gets /bumped often and the issue "escalated." lol

			I play with the sound off so I have no idea what it sounds like but I do know pets shouldn't be annoying to have out.	
----
			There are a lot of minipets that could use a muzzle.  Mini-Scorchwing is another that becomes annoying fast.

I once was using the AH at spaceport alpha, when abour 5 people seemed to summon their dagun pets.
 
"gruwRUGFwrAURAHFUE" yeah I left to another AH.
 
Would like a flat out toggle to turn off non-combat pet noises period.  Some are quieter than others, sure, but I personally find a good deal of them irritating.	
----
			The dagun is super annoying, I love the look of it but it's annoying as hell.	
----
			I really hate that pet, the sound isn't what bothers me.. it's just so derpy looking lol.

That one isn't even the worse. Have you heard the Razortails? The only way I can describe it is a constant flatulence sound. Annoying as hell, makes me want to slap someone. :P
 
I wish they'd either remove the pet sounds or make them way way more spaced out. More often than not I don't have any pet out cause after a few minutes the constant repeating sound (even if funny at first) becomes annoying, no matter how much I love having a pet by my side.

I was so happy when I got it... I was like lvl 13 and it was my first pet. 10 minutes later it was unsummoned. :(
 
I got lucky with pet drops after that. Got a weird alien thing in an expedition, a bubbzing and a grey bird in Galeras, and my current partner a beautiful snowy pumera in Whitevale :D so pretty and thankfully silent.
 
The dagun needs to 1 - growl lower and less
2 - drop the stupid helmet, id much prefer a regular one.

			I like the idea of a 'turn off companion pet sounds' toggle. Probably not something that can be done as an addon, I bet. 	
----
			Something I haven't seen any notice yet (sorry if you have and I missed it, I'm not very good with forums :/) but the 'dog' companions as I have the 'Exile Dog' with the same problem. The constant annoying 'growling' he does only seems to happen after you stop moving and only when your idle as in if your not moving in combat he doesn't do it. Any other time he's silent or he howls which is what I prefer/expected of him. The growling seems to be maybe a deterrent for AFKers, just a constant noise to get you do something I don't know but it's *very* distracting when I'm AHing or have turned to talk to my husband. I'd rather not his sounds be removed or lowered or anything like that because I love the sounds he's 'supposed' to make, the howling and *occasional* growling but the constant spam while I'm idle is very obnoxious and he's my favorite pet because he seems to be the only one that isn't half the size of the versions of him that are in the game (like how the pumera are smaller then even their cubs when they are a companion, I'm pretty sure they are even smaller then the pumera cub companions LOL) but I can complain about size another day. For now it would be nice to just go without the annoying growling and keep the howling, I don't want him completely silent as has been stated before most of the Wildstar sounds are amazing.

			Yeah... I was disappointed to see the Arcterra update doesn't address this at all.  Minipets really shouldn't be making noise anywhere as much as they do.  I'm convinced the chompacabras and that stupid radish violate the torture rules outlined by the Geneva Convention.  My kingdom for a minipet volume slider.	
----
			The spiderbots are also pretty darn noisy. Those sounds should fire once every half an hour or something.
