How to stop the blue smoke memento noise?

    This sounds super annoying, so I getcha. I also wish there was a way to mute sounds coming from other players, I've seen griefers who spam a macro full of screaming and then they do that in a crowded area...

    What's the thing that causes the constant wonky trumpet sound? Someone had that on in Mournhold the other day, and the continual repetition was painful. Unfortunately, whoever it was seemed to be picking the exact same spots for dailies, as they effectively followed me for about 5 minutes.

    We REALLY need to be able to mute other-player sound effects!

    This problem is getting completely out of hand on PC EU server. Even in the late hours of the morning, we can't use a single city in the game without being permanently disturbed by many players forcing that unbearable humming noise on other players headphones.

    Can someone tell me exactly which quest causes that humming noise so that this bug can be reported in better detail?

    Example here: https://jumpshare.com/v/GNXmM9PcJZkfmriXNTlr

    To the best of my knowledge, the quest itself has already been fixed (I tried to replicate the bug on my Necromancer months ago, because it would have suited him nicely, but was unable to replicate the bug via the usual means). Anyone still using the quest effect today probably has been doing so for years and activated it long before the fix, meaning ZOS would likely have to debug on an individual character by character basis. At least you can rest easy knowing that new players can’t use the bug.

    I really don't believe this bug has actually been fixed. On the EU PC server the number of players exploiting this bug continues to increase significantly. Where did you get this information? And what's the quest name after all? So I can try to research and report the situation.

    It's doubtful with all the noises and bangs they are deliberately adding with mounts, mementos, skins, recalls, arms packs etc.

    They don't seem to care much about those things despite people's complaints. Nor all the flashes of lights.

    The noise that always drove me nuts that everyone had was some sort of watchling pet that makes this awful clicking-gurgle sound. Whenever folks had it around me, rather than going into my settings to specifically turn down volume, I always just spammed all my AOE abilities around me to wash it out with white noise while I did my crafting. It was a faster bandaid than adjusting volume. Plus making all of my own noise too allowed me to participate in their parade.

    Like I said, I tried replicating it myself a few months ago, and was unable to do so via the usual means. I was able to trigger the bug on other characters years ago with no issues. Perhaps the bug has been inadvertently reintroduced after a recent patch (wouldn't be the first time that's happened in this game). The likelier explanation is that you're hypersensitive to it and noticing it more than you did previously. It was a very popular bug back in the day, as a lot of us like the way it looks (and even like the way it sounds!), and there may be more older players returning to ESO after a break. I can't check the quest out again to be sure if the bug HAS accidentally been reintroduced, as I uninstalled ESO back in October due to the atrocious ongoing lag spikes and disconnects. I won't identify the exact quest itself, as I don't want to be accused of anything like showing others how to "exploit" the game.

    Which is very sad for "AA" game — I don't consider ESO an AAA game any more. Wish I could hide everyone's but me and those of my groups' visual effects, so I could play in peace without having to dodge from flashbang / stun grenades whenever I go or stay. :(

    I'm quite good at genetics (as a subset of biology) because I am an expert (which I know is a tautology).

    It's not that easy. For example, if you are doing the writs in any city, and there just one player exploiting this bug of the blue smoke, there isn't one single place where you aren't forced to listen to that humming noise. The problem with this bugged thing is that you can receive its noise even from faraway places.
