Housing Suggestion: Ambient Sounds and Pet Names

Ambient Noises/Sound Effects/Music
It would be great if we were allowed to place a sound asset somewhere in our homes. For instance set the music that plays in the area, choose from a list of zone music already in the game. It would be a great way to customise and set the ambience of our homes.
Same goes for certain sound effects, again you could place them like an asset, put them in the wall or an object to get a certain effect.

Pet/Mount Names
We have been able to nickname our pets and mounts for a long time, but this is basically pointless and very easy to forget that you have done it, as the only way to view them is to look at them in your collections menu.
However, with housing we get a unique opportunity to actually see our mounts with us not on them. And the pets not following us.
So even if their names are only visible to us in their target bars, that would be great. I understand that there would need to be filters the same with character names if they were visible to other players. But even so, it would be nice to see yours and other people's pet/mount names. It would give more purpose to that option in the first place.

    Agree with these suggestions.

    It would certainly be nice to be able to further customise the feel of your living area through the use of the existing sound clips already in the game. Transparent sound objects that can be placed like all of the current assets, have their volume controllable, as well as them being directional would really increase the opportunity to create a certain desired mood in your living space. It would be especially useful on the larger properties too, where there is a lot of space to play with, giving you even more opportunity to create differently themed sections in larger houses.

    The pet idea would be a nice touch also. It'd be nice to see what people have named their pets at some point, as it seems a little bit of a pointless feature to be able to name them at the moment, other than for some personal customisation.

    Selecting our own music would be amazing. It would really make it our own. They could even make the music unlock able thru achievements.

    I want the Maw drums.

    These are really good, particularly the option to set ambient noises. The sound of a bubbling pot of broth to accompany a roaring log fire would be pretty homely to my ears.

    Directional and volume control is a great idea too, even more customisation!

    Yeah this is the kind of thing I had in mind. It would be so awesome to do this.
