Oh good. A proper thread to post this in.

Every time I go through a stargate, in addition to the usual sounds of gate activation, jump travel and arriving in the destination system, I now get this horribly bad and annoying static-like sound when activating the origin gate and again when coming through the destination gate. It's as if someone was trying to create kind of an electrical discharge noise but their efforts went horribly wrong.

Am I supposed to be hearing this? I really really really really do not want to activate another stargate with my sound turned on ever again if this is intentional.

I came to the forums just to report this, but found that it's already reported above. This sound is really horrible.

I'm getting a hissing/popping audio artifact on the gate animation not present on TQ. Sound setup identical on both clients.

No, it's not intentional - the electric field and a burst there is only supposed to be played if you are near the gate and another player jumps or arrives at the stargate - this is noted. thanks

It is of course not intended, a good reminder is that if you can't control it through the volume sliders or it seems to be loud compared to the other sounds, then it's either a bugged audio event or the sound itself that isn't mixed in.

in this case a bugged audio event, I'll report this here immediately.

UPDATE: we found this, It will be fixed - it needs to be mixed first, which is out of my hands - but right after that, I can fix the bug itself.

So what you're saying is that when traveling through gates I should never hear this noise from my own gate activations, but someone else near the gate should hear it when I go through?

Yet this noise is a bit annoying and far too long.

But on paper that's of course a good idea

Not a change in Rubicon, but the starmap plays ambient sound even when music is turned off. Only way to get rid of it is to completely turn off all sounds. I definitely think this should be in the music category, and be turned off when music volume is set to zero.

Wait wait wait wait wait, Eve has sound?

is there a way how to disable those "acceleration gate tracks" which play when you enter plexes, sites or missions? Or a hotkey which mutes the music would be also an acceptable workaround ;)

Any chance for a wider range of engine sounds based on the level of engines (0 - 100%), and a different much louder sound if you're running an afterburner, and another alternate sound for MWD.

Also I'd like to zoom in close and hear the rumble of my engines if the camera is right next to the engines and they're on at full blast and visible, but if the camera is rotated so that the engines are pointing away from the camera and not visible, then they should be muffled.

There's an annoying noise that shows up if you make a system transition while in map mode that goes away when you leave map mode.

This has been put into a bug report but I'm putting it here for visibility.

Having started playing EVE before Trinity, I cannot be satisfied with any gate activation noise that isn't the "extremely loud wind-up with shock-release" sound. The current sound that overlays gate activation on both sides of the jump is quite bizarre.
