Hew Samurai does your wind up noise bother you

[Aquaslash]

It doesn't bother me, in fact, it excites me as I anticipate the juicy >45K critical direct incoming.

I am then immediately let down by the meager 20K result despite having at least 5 damage buffs including a potion, and then infuriated by the auto attack that direct crits immediately after

[van_arn]

Not at all, it's cool as shit.

[Magic-Mal]

It's not as bad as Holy and Unleash spam.

[Yojimzo]

Not really, then again I have yet to have a 4 SAM roulette, ask me again after. Take it over Unleash, and this comes from someone who likes DRK.

It's more of the pitch than the sound it's self. I think for one of the moves it's slightly muted so it's not as bad. In sam heavy groups it can make you not want to do your best. I get what they were going for but for me and it looks like a few others it's so loud and sharp that over time you want to grit your teeth or something.

There are many people susceptible to high-pitched sounds. Then there are certain sound types that are particularly nasty. Think about scratching a plate with a fork or a blackboard with nails.

High-pitched sounds cause a certain range of vibrations that can cause damage, hence why people are particularly likely to be susceptible to them. I mean, we're talking about something that can potentially break glass. Humans (eardrums specifically) are far more suited to low-pitched sounds. That's why drums are so popular.

So yes. It is a thing, and not because someone may be "weird". It is a thing for very much medical reasons.

Thanks for the lecture, but I was referring to one particular noise that people find annoying, not sonic deathwaves fired at diplomats in Cuban hotels.

Then you did not read the "lecture" fully.

Humans bodies are managed by instincts that fully believe in "better to prevent than to cure". That's why things that suggest threat, can be considered a threat already. That's why we find disgust in certain things, that's why we feel pain even if there's nothing actually wrong with us...and that's why we are annoyed by sounds that are not "there" yet to cause us harm. This sensitivity different from person to person, but it ultimately stems from self-preservation in ALL of the cases.

PS: Damaging your hearing is way easier than you would think. It doesn't need to be that loud, nor does it need to even be felt. "Right" frequency of vibrations (sound being vibrations and their pitch being the frequency) can cause damage even at low volumes, without the person even knowing.

OK, back on topic... no the sound does not bother me.

[JunseiKei]

It's high pitched and I have sensitive ears. However, I never have the game's sound effects up loud enough to actually bother me.
