			I posted a thread similar to this in the medic section. Does anyone else think the sound FX for mending probes and/or the "monster waves" (the missions where the yellow circle appears and you kill waves of monsters) are annoying? yes? no? What are your thoughts? I had thought they turned the volume down on the monster waves, but I think I may have been mistaken.

I time my flashes with the audible pulses of the probes.... Turn your SFX volume down if it gets annoying.

The problem, for me, is that the sounds are so loud that if I turn my SFX down to compensate I won't enjoy the volume level of the rest of the game.
 
 
edit: maybe they could make an option for it in the menus if there's not one already. I need to look...

You can turn down SFX volume separate from voice / musics/ other sound volumes. You can turn it low rather than off for a less in your face annoyance.

Another reason is I have a roommate, and I can't always wear headphones, and I play while they sleep. So turning the volume down is a good option, but I think the game would be more enjoyable for me if the high-pitched stuff could be turned down independently of the rest of it. Another sound that could be annoying is the repsonse to clicking "locate" on a settler cache beacon.
 
edit: Really I guess there are more sounds than even that. I might as well just turn sound FX volume down as suggested. "Challenge begins" is one. When mining a blue mineral popping up is another..

			I'm with you OP. The waves in particular startle the *cupcake* outta me.

It's so you don't fall asleep and die to them.
 
You're very much awake to handle it.

its funny, but on my medic i find the mending probes SFX reassuring, as long as they are ticking away its one less thing to think about.
 
On every other character i want a volume slider just for them...

			I wish there was a "Normalize" option for all the diffferent sound categories. I wouldn't always use it, but sometimes it would be cool.

			I don't know why people keep saying medics are midrange. They're clearly all about the bass.

The mending probe sound just wants to remind you of the tender, loving care your healer friend is giving to your... oops, not forum appropriate!
 
I agree with the OP. The sound is painful. (Not a joke...!)
