You know that humming that runs in the background when you're in the UI tweaking your mech or waiting for your group to start a round. It's driving me bonkers! (I'm actually pretty sensitive to noise in that frequency range. Migraines and such.)

Can we get a way to disable it? I can't just mute the whole computer.

I think that's the "music."

It's totally drone-doom.

Turning off the music doesn't get rid of the sound, and yes, it is annoying.

It's the sound of the selected mech's engine, same as in the game. Personally I have no problems with that.

Jeepers, so the techs install ammo while the engine is on? Lunatics!

Can I remove the engine and mute the sound?

Anyway, I'd love the option to mute that sound. This is the place to suggest that, right?

I LOVE those sounds.

I actually think the Cicada engine sounds pleasant.
Is that strange?

Interestingly enough, removing the engine doesn't actually stop it's engine sound.

I think at the moment your only option is to mute your sound while you're in the mechlab.

Eek! The Telltale Engine! Someone core it, quick!

I hope PGI is watching this thread and will add an option to mute ambient sounds in the UI.

* Removed the engine sounds from the Front End to prepare a new system.

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! It's so much quieter in the mech bay now. I really appreciate it!

No. It's the reason I miss that mech... (stopped using it because I can't get a happy loadout with it)
