Mount Noise Needs Its Own Volume Slider

KhajiitHasSkooma · May 18

There are many, many mounts that are not enjoyable because of their intrusive noises. This can all be solved with a volume slider just for mount noise. That way you guys at ZOS can make them as unique and interesting sounding as you would like, while players can choose to adjust the volume to their liking.

Yes, this may be a first world problem, but at the same time, as a paying customer, I should be able to enjoy my Crown Crate mounts and not be relegated to old senches because they make the least noise.

every time I see posts like these I think of that episode of Fairly Odd Parents when Timmy wishes for everyone to be the same

I wish I understood that reference? Can you explain to me what you are trying to say?

Just_Attivi · May 19

I actually totally agree with this, I have a select few mounts that I love (namely the fox ones) but they make such a shrill shriek when you jump with them that it is just.... not worth using lol. purchase regret came very quick for the one i bought, and the gifted one I politely tolerated the sounds to show I appreciated it, but big oooophs.

Same with non-combat pets. Get one I like the looks of, equip it, hear some annoying sound effect on a frequent loop, and feel immediate disappointment about purchase.

YES !
YEEEESS !!!!
I love dwarven stuff but I can't stand any of the dwarven spider mounts because they're waaay too loud ;(

Yes, please

i very much like my cute fox mount, but its' ducklike quacking destroys the immersion for me

EF321 · May 19

Yes.
And also Cyro sieges, they are so much louder than anything

SkaiFaith · May 19

I love the aesthetics for wolves and gryphons, like the most recent Radiant Apex, but I really despise the sounds of both those animals, hence why I never select them and I gave up my interest in them, saving my Seals/Gems instead.

It would be appreciated if we could silence them without affecting other sounds' volume.

Edit: I was referring to the "roar" not the animation sound. I very much enjoy the animation sound for the new gryphon; it's its "chirp" that sounds terrible to my ears.

The Jubilee Mount makes a noise after the jingle, I know it is supposed to be firecrackers or something but it sounds like something quite different whenever I hear it

LunaFlora · May 19

yes that would be awesome.
the summoning animations of some especially are so loud

spartaxoxo · May 19

I don't think they need to waste time putting toggles on everything.

Ashryn · May 19

Even more annoying them the mount sounds is the constant yelling that our characters do when riding.

yeah, sometimes when you ride over uneven landscape and the mount does constant little jumps
- everytime the character screams and the mount roars - you are like: omg, shut up you both^^

Yes, that’s when I really wish we could alter how much noise and flashing we see from other players! I detest the meteoric mounts.

Mesite · May 20

I never ride Indrik reindeers. They have really annoying sounds, for me.

Aleris · May 20

i hate the sound of the indrik... it's like a dog barking or something like that lol

oldbobdude · May 20

Yes, I stick with the free lion one we got some time ago. It has a soft little “roar” but is quiet after mount. Some are very loud.

Frostee_rucker · May 22

Not being able to preview the sounds of the mount while riding is the #1 reason I don’t go for apex mounts with real money anymore. It’s also disappointing using endeavors on one with a bad sound. Some of them are bad enough to never use again.

That only occurs when you change riding speed, so it's easy enough to reduce that yelling: change speed less often.

I think we need more toggles. There are a lot of game features that are making forum members dissatisfied with parts of the game, and in some of these cases, adding a toggle for a feature would actually solve the problem. e.g. grim focus glow, extra-flashy special effects on some mounts, fixing the hide others' followers toggle, etc.

BetweenMidgets · May 22

ZoS has made 2 billion over 10 years, I'll let you all math that out and decide if a few more toggles could be in the budget.

This is a +1 from me, for sure. Indrik & Fox mount sounds are very unappealing.

I don't want to set off the profanity police but if it walks like a fox and quacks like a duck, combine those names and you get...

There's always going to be something someone doesn't like. There's no such thing as a piece of art that would please everyone. It would take too much time to make toggles for all of it. There are so many mounts that I don't think disliking mounts sounds is a good reason for one.

Hapexamendios · May 23

The ones that I find irritating are the indriks. I don't use them.

WhiteCoatSyndrome · May 23

My Argonian’s first intended mount was the Hearthfire Kagouti, but the summoning noise was unbearable! I’d just wanted a Kagouti that wasn’t pink! 😑

Ezhh · May 23

Friends without maxed riding speed keep asking me to use my two seater spider, but the sound it makes actually gives me headaches after a while...

Tallon_IV · May 23

I would definitely like this. At the very least they could tone down the biggest offenders. The Sunflare Iron Wolf comes to mind.
