Strange 'clinking' noise from interactables

hammer_fella

Not sure if anyone else is experiencing this or if it is unique to me somehow, but I keep hearing this very annoying and abrasive clinking noise now whenever interacting with anything. This includes picking up nodes, opening doors, looting corpses, etc. but also on some occasions coming out of stealth and things like that. Needless to say, very unpleasant.

Also in the strange sounds department, Ambush is now making a very loud and obnoxious WHOOSHING sound.

It's not just you. Sounds throughout the game have changed. The question I have is why did they feel the need to change them. They actually sound worse imo.

The clanking noise is annoying to say the least. Please ZOS remove it. Also there is no sound for Dual Wield Rapid Strikes when hitting a target and no sound when drawing Dual Daggers.

This is hilarious because I know exactly what this clinking noise is and it used to drive me nuts too until I figured out what it was. What you're hearing is a nearby [the sound travels far so nearby can be a long way off] npc flipping a coin with the coin flip anim. It never used to be like that but then with one patch the noise seemed to break all rules when it came to just how far that noise can travel. You'll hear it often in most cities since there is almost always an npc or 2 doing that.

That is most certainly not what the noise is. It occurs in dungeons and other areas far from cities and is unmistakeably not intended to be part of the game. It is similar to the sound you hear when your armor is damaged, except sharper and it occurs regularly upon attempting to interact with objects -- it is not atmospheric. Furthermore, it is certainly new with update 1.5.2
