i have drum of WD40, your welcome to some

You would have to decompile the respurces, change them and then recompile them, so while possible, would be against just about every rule out there.

Same problem here. I was lucky enough to get a Dwarven Guar when we got our free Dwarven crown crates last year.

I love the Dwarven Guar mount but I don't use it any longer as I swapped it for the Leopard Senche we got for free recently, simply because it is quiet when riding except for the occasional growl.

The Dwarven Guar makes my ears (figuratively) bleed when I mount it.

It would be awesome if we could selectively adjust the volume on these things. Please ZOS.

Well, I'm really glad I saved my gems for the next mounts now

Sadly some rides makes so much undesirable sounds I don't use them.

And after years of collecting I end up with the regular horses and guars. They still look the best IMO.

I bring out my unicorns for the parades but that is rare these days.

If we could change the sound theme at least locally that would be great.

also #toggleablebattlemusic while we're at it

so these functions exist with the game and I think they can be hooked with the LUA API

[AUDIO_SETTING_AMBIENT_VOLUME] =
{
controlType = OPTIONS_SLIDER,
system = SETTING_TYPE_AUDIO,
settingId = AUDIO_SETTING_AMBIENT_VOLUME,
panel = SETTING_PANEL_AUDIO,
text = SI_AUDIO_OPTIONS_AMBIENT_VOLUME,
tooltipText = SI_AUDIO_OPTIONS_AMBIENT_VOLUME_TOOLTIP,
minValue = 0,
maxValue = 100,
showValue = true,
eventCallbacks =
{
["SoundEnabled_On"] = ZO_Options_SetOptionActive,
["SoundEnabled_Off"]= ZO_Options_SetOptionInactive,
},
onReleasedHandler = function() PlaySound(SOUNDS.VOLUME_DING_AMBIENT) end,
gamepadIsEnabledCallback = IsSoundEnabled,
},
--Options_Audio_SFXVolume
[AUDIO_SETTING_SFX_VOLUME] =
{
controlType = OPTIONS_SLIDER,
system = SETTING_TYPE_AUDIO,
settingId = AUDIO_SETTING_SFX_VOLUME,
panel = SETTING_PANEL_AUDIO,
text = SI_AUDIO_OPTIONS_SFX_VOLUME,
tooltipText = SI_AUDIO_OPTIONS_SFX_VOLUME_TOOLTIP,
minValue = 0,
maxValue = 100,
showValue = true,
eventCallbacks =
{
["SoundEnabled_On"] = ZO_Options_SetOptionActive,
["SoundEnabled_Off"]= ZO_Options_SetOptionInactive,
},
onReleasedHandler = function() PlaySound(SOUNDS.VOLUME_DING_SFX) end,
gamepadIsEnabledCallback = IsSoundEnabled,
},

I am going to do some testing to see if mount noises are sfx or ambient and what else is affected if those noises are filtered out or turned off.

It may wind up being something that isn't possible to turn off only the mount, but I'm thinking ambient sounds may be things like mounts. It could also be native speaking NPC too though, all the chatter you hear in the background.

I'll report back

oh you will have to turn off sfx while riding any "apex" mount too, that will remove both the "chattering" and the "special" effects of these mounts. Its easy to put both of them on a function key and hit it after you mount and then again after you dismount, its not perfect but it will work if you want to use these mounts

No problem, by nature I love to solve problems so you gave me something to do!

Hope it helps and you can enjoy the game a little bit more

If you preordered summerset @ziogio

No, No. Nightmare senche and leopard senche are different. The nightmare one was offered for pre-purchase of Summerset and I forget why we got the leopard one. Maybe it was for server problems last year. Dunno, my memory is not so good in my old age. Might even have been in a free crown crate. I really can't remember.

Well I had a crap load of crown gems laid about, so I bought the Dwarven Horse, think it looks great but man, when you gallop it sounds like a bunch of rampant honeymooners on a 70 year old bed.

That squeaking makes my teeth itch, I have a permenantly ruptured eardrum and the pitch of the squeaking makes it sound like the old fingernails down a blackboard thing.

Could I say, take a copy of the sound file for another horse and rename it so the game would use it for the Dwarven Horse ? Or is it bad doo doo to swap game files round etc ?

Just be thankful you are not riding the Dwarven Bear. Man not only noisy, but like all bears, you lope so lopsidedly, it actually makes one sea-sick! What a combo.

The Mind Shriven Horse is another mount that has super annoying sound effects.

I think the designers do this on purpose.

"We will give them the most amazing mount and give it horrific sound effects to torture them with. Bwahahaha."
