This addon will mute some of the annoying sounds of WoW. If you are updating from version 8.1 or lower please read the 8.2 section as the installation instructions have changed.
Changes in patch 8.2
Patch 8.2 broke the way this addon originally worked and so has had to be reworked.
This addon is now installed into the Interface > Addons directory just like any other addon.
Since this change required a complete rework of the addon there are around ~2500 sounds missing from this version that the previous version muted.
You can safely delete the old versions installation folder "Sound" in your World of Warcraft directory.
This version only works on Retail.
Custom Sound Mutes:
If you want to mute sounds that aren't already included in the addon I've created a small tool to help you do so using sound ids found on wowhead.
To clarify, this is NOT needed to make this addon work, this is something extra and entirely optional for those who'd like to mute sounds not already included.
The download and instructions for using it can be found here:
https://github.com/Kiingy/MuteWoWSounds
The above link also contains the complete source code for anyone interested.
Basic List: Please note this isn't a complete list, it's a small sample to give an idea of whats been muted.
- Players: All race combat grunts as well as emote sounds like train and worgen sniffs. All footsteps.
- Classes: Select sounds like Path of Frost, Fan of Kives, mage armors & portals, hunter pet calls, shaman shields and spell cast fizzles.
- Mechanical Mounts: Choppers, Flying Machines, Goblin Trikes, Mechastriders and Rockets.
- Biological Mounts: Summon roars, mount special, idle and footstep sounds for most mounts. Dismount sound also included.
- Battle Pets: Idle sounds like Lil'XT, Lil'Ragnaros, Singing Sunflower and Thor.
- Hunter/Mage/Warlock Pets: Creature combat sounds, footsteps, flying and idle sounds. Mage elemental loops also included.
- Voice Acting: World bosses, Rhonin & Kalecgos city speech and Headless Horseman speech.
- Toys: Piccolo of the Flaming Fire, Train Sets and Brewfest Mole Machine.
- Daily Hubs: Isle of Thunder, Isle of Quel'Danas and Tol'Barad.
- Misc: City clock sounds, ethereal vendor hubs, waterfalls, rivers, beaches, fires and fireworks.
- Battlegrounds: Victory/Defeat, Alert and Herald sounds.
- Instances: Select boss speech and combat sounds, loops sounds like the beating heart from SoO. All instance portals.
- Creatures: Kovok, Elemental loops and deaths.

Ragnaros Loop
Pocko again with an edit: Okay, so my quick fix does NOT work... The lava sound loop is muted entering the area (so it kinda works), but as soon as a spell that has a looping sound like holy radiance is used... the Ragnaros sound loop ensues bypassing the new sound folder stuff altogether...GRRR! I don't really understand it.

Re: Ragnaros Loop
"FX_Firelands_BrazierFlame_01.ogg FX_Firelands_BrazierFlame_02.wav FX_Firelands_BrazierFlame_03.ogg FX_Firelands_BrazierFlame_04.wav FX_Firelands_BrazierFlame_01.ogg FX_Firelands_BrazierFlame_02.wav FX_Firelands_BrazierFlame_03.ogg FX_Firelands_BrazierFlame_04.wav" You have the file types wrong. You need an .ogg and .wav version for each file. Try adding these. Data\\Sound\\Ambience\\Water\\LavaPoolLoop Data\\Sound\\Ambience\\Water\\LavaStreamLoop Create .ogg and .wav versions for both of those. These sounds will have some problems though, while moving these sounds will "mute" other sounds (like casting, boss speech and select ability sounds). I have no idea why it does it but it started happening around 4.1 and there is no way to fix it. Most of the sounds in the doodad and emitters folder have this problem.

First off I really enjoy this addon but ever since I updated my OS to windows 7 I can no longer get this to work. I am moving it in to the right file folder and every thing but it just doesn't work at all. Any Idea what I could do to fix this?

Re: Try adding these.
Data\\Sound\\Ambience\\Water\\LavaPoolLoop Data\\Sound\\Ambience\\Water\\LavaStreamLoop Yes, that did do the trick. Tested it for three hours tonight in raid, and no lava sounds whatsoever. Thank you Kiingz!http://www.wowinterface.com/images/s...es/biggrin.gif |

I have two questions.
First, can we get the wing flap and idle(there's a feint fiery crackling sound when idle on the ground) sounds for the new fire hawk mounts in firelands? God are they annoying. I've tried looking through the mpq's to find them, but my skill is lacking. Is there a trick to finding them that I don't know? I tried searching the listfile for things like mount or hawk. Secondly, and I'm not sure why, but blocking sounds like this seems to interfere with other sounds. For instance, I have wow instant messenger set to play a sound every time I get a new whisper. Previously, it worked every time. Now, it sporadically misses sounds. And it happens more often when I'm in a populated area. I'm assuming there's nothing that can be done except trim the number of sounds I'm blocking, but I thought I'd ask just in case. Previously I was blocking only Mimiron's head. And even when idle, in the air, it would not interfere. So I'm at a loss as to explain it.

Sound\\Creature\\WingFlap\\... FX_WingFlap_Fire_01 FX_WingFlap_Fire_02 FX_WingFlap_Fire_03 FX_WingFlap_Fire_04 FX_WingFlap_Fire_05 FX_WingFlap_Fire_06 FX_WingFlap_Fire_07 FX_WingFlap_Fire_08 FX_WingFlap_Fire_09 FX_WingFlap_Fire_10 2. Its the Emitters and Doodad folder causing it. It started around 4.1, I don't know why it does it and it probably cannot be fixed. A few of the ambient looping sounds (like lava, fires, braziers, bonfires etc) cause it and only while you are moving. Out of curiosity, what OS you running? So far I know its been happening to Win7/Vista users. If you use one of those you could try running WoW in compatibility mode with XP, otherwise remove the doodad and emitters folder and check if it still happens.

Those were definitely the wing flapping files, in hindsight, I probably should have been able to find those, but I didnt. And the mount shares the summon and takeoff sounds with other mounts.
All that's left is that fiery crackling sound. I searched the mpq files today for fire and listened to all of them. A few were close, but blocking them revealed they were not the right ones. So I'm unsure as where to look for the right sound. As for the random sound muting, I think I came to the same conclusion you did. I tried to narrow down exactly which sounds might be causing the problem, but I think there are several, and because it's kind of random, could take days to fully figure out. So I gave up and decided to use only a select few that are super annoying. |

Crash
It seems like every week, my game would crash right after Garr in Molten Core. I rename the Sound folder and usually works fine.
I'm not sure if anyone else is experiencing this. Here is the error log. Thanks.
