All you need to do is open notepad, create a new file, save it as FootstepsGiant01.wav to Data\Sound\Character\Footsteps\GiantFootSteps

Create 4 more only with a dif numerical value in the name (02, 03, 04, 05).

That's all those empty sound files should be.. a blank text file with a wav extention.

Edit: You can muffle just about any irritating sound in the game. You just need to find out the name of the sound file and the path to where it's saved in the Data/Sound directory.... then just create a blank file as described above.
