    Crag Crystal Sound present in West Sarutabaruta

    Thread Title: Crag Crystal Sound present in West Sarutabaruta
    Platform: Windows XP PC
    ISP: Verizon
    Type of Internet Connection: DSL
    Internet Connection Speed: 3Mbit
    Date & Time: Eastern Time = EST 6:10pm Thursday March 13th
    Frequency: Always/Continuous
    Character Name: Moshanee
    Race: Mithra
    World: Quetzalcoatl
    Main Job: THF99
    Support Job: BLM49
    Area and Coordinates: Sound was not coordinate specific
    Party or Solo: Solo
    NPC Name: None
    Monster Name: None

    Steps:
    1. I zoned into West Sarutabaruta from East Sarutabaruta through the north entrance.
    2. Immediately upon entering the zone i was confronted with the sound that is heard near Crag teleport gate crystals; a low-pitched humming. (it could be the movement of ferries as they dock/shed moorings)
    3. The sound was constant throughout my foot traveled path from the zone line to Giddeus. It did not go away or change in intensity during battle sequences or changes in camera angle. (it was also present in first person mode)
    4. It was NOT present when i returned from Giddeus to West Sarutabaruta.
    5. It was audible on the left headset channel only... no equivalent sound was in the right headset speaker.
    6. When I click out of FFXI to a browser window the sound disappeared for a few moments only to return, slightly muffled.

    I've heard it on Xbox 360 as well.

    So THAT's what that is. It always sounded like being in a wind tunnel or something.

    That being said, here's a vote for this happening on Windows 8 as well.

    My wild guess: has something to do with the airship flying overhead.
