Is there a way to mute my furniture? That big singing plaque from Elswyr is great but the singing never stops. Also the Wraith of Crows training dummy looks amazing in my unholy alter room but the squawking can be heard all over the house. Please tell me theres a way to tell my furniture to shut up?

    Unless it’s the music boxes then unfortunately not I’m afraid. At least on console. Not sure if there’s an add on for PC

    Oooh, how about this badboy?

    Target-Mournful-Aegis.jpg?w=973&ssl=1

    We call him "Wom Wom"; he sounds like a little kid making "whooooom whoooooom" noises into a fan. Occasionally, he scares the pewp out of me.

    Reducing the level of Effects should quiet them down. Probably not what you want though.
    Enjoy the game, life is what you really want to be worried about.

    I just turn my game volume down when sounds bother me. I guess I have things that make sound set apart from each other. I just got my mural from Elsweyr today and i haven't placed in my house yet. I'm not sure how I'm going to feel about it now that I know I can't turn it off. See with the music box i turn it on and off. The dummy with all the swords and arms I have that outside in my palace which is huge so the sound isn't too intense. I was hoping to have the mural inside but i'll have to see now....maybe ill put it upstairs so i only hear it when i go up there which isnt too often..that might work.

    So, Essential Housing Tools FX has some sound FX you can drop into areas. I believe these are pretty quiet - like you can barely hear them - and they have the added effect of muting whatever else is in the area. I'd need to re-test this to confirm, but I'm pretty certain of it.

    Yeah, this guy looks just awesome. But the sound makes him completely disgusting.

    @ImmortalElf13

    I confirmed this morning. Dropping in an EHT sound effect does in fact mute all noises in its area of effect (like totally muted including character noises. It does mean you'd be hearing the Hymn of the Stars in that area (Or suspense if you drop in that sound effect) but I would think that that's preferable to the constant grinding of the moongate. :wink:

    @R_K , is there a way you can add a sound effect to EHT that is just a ball of silence so we can specifically use it to mute in-game sound fx in our homes?

    I like this idea. Personally I love the effect in EHT that makes all the grass bits vanish. Makes structure building in certain areas so much better

    Sure... I’m glad you all brought this up.

    I can create something like a Sphere of Silence...?

    It could dampen - or even mute entirely - a whole class of sound: UI, Sound Effects, Music, etc. as you approach it.

    Oh, and like all of my FX, it’d be resizable of course.

    Sound good?

    Yes please. I have the new Dwemer house and it would be nice to mute the environmental sounds in that place (the ones that are supposed to sound like machinery).

    But, even if you can just shut that Target Dummy up, that would be awesome.

    This guy lives in a tiny unfurnished apartment along with more of his ilk.

    You are simply awesome, can't believe that Elsweyr wall will finally shut up. THANKS
