mmm the Aura voice sounds aren't bad, and if players dislike it they can turn it off. But I'm all for the feedback. A lot of the client lacks any kind of responsiveness, and compared to other games that are orgies of visual and audio feedback, EVE has a way to go.
"You must be within range to perform this function" (or whatever she says when you open a container outside of 2500 m) is a bit wordy but I'd be okay with it if it was followed up by "Approaching."
I think other commands like Approach and Orbit and Align could all use Aura responses. I've lived with the aura voice clips every time I dock or do anything with 10 clients and it's fine. Helpful, even, to know my command is acknowledged.
There's a slight delay on the mouseover sounds that feels like lag, and I hope you reduce the delay to zero. I suspect you have the audio triggered with tooltip and other graphics, perhaps piggybacked onto their code?

It's a noise, just like when a demon drops gold in Diablo you hear some clinks, and when you pick it up there's a sound resembling a bag of gold sliding across a table. Potions are different colors, and there's a huge splash screen for practically anything you achieve (in Diablo). Or when you are on a kill streak in Counter-Strike you get the stadium announcer who says "Monster Kill" "Ultra Kill."
It's basic interaction and feedback. Audio, visual.
Perhaps live Bingo is more your speed?

You know I think Vegas needs to tone it down a little with those lights and all that audio. The Bellagio? Like I am not a moron I can totally see it is there without water shows every half hour.

It's the kids these days. They want games that push their APM and reflexes, and in that regard EVE is just molasses. Adding more sounds and activity in the client is a very cheap way to sort of fix that problem. A resource-heavy way would be more twitch gameplay but it would also be harder on the hardware.

I do understand what your saying, I just can't see how sounds such as this add anything at all to the game except to increase stress and irritation levels while having to repeatedly listen to them. Even more so with the grating voice chosen to present them KIDS THESE DAYS WITH THEIR LOUD MUSIC back in my day we

An idea can seem sound [haaah] but then break with repetition. There are extreme cases like how a cinematic camera looks okay as a cinematic camera... once... but then when you consider the frequency it's like, hell no.
This wasn't the most egregious lack of testing and I think the lower volume of complaints reflects that.
