You can lower the sound in System Configuration > Sound Settings > Sound Effects
You do not lower every sound, you lower specifically Sound Effects and it will not "mute the entire game".
Sound effects do not affect Master Volume, BGM, Voice, System Sounds, Ambient Sounds nor Performance, so it does absolutely not "mute the game". OP asked for an option to lower this sound, there it is. I have lowered it too because the sound of steps is way over the top in my experience. Give it a try.
That would impede my gameplay, as I rely on sound effects in combat. I have drastically lowered Player Effects Volume > Other PCs and this mitigates the issue somewhat, but this does not work when in an instance--and I use other player's combat sounds to inform my own play. Mass-blacklisting has also mitigated the issue, but not solved it.
To be clear: I did not ask for an option to lower the sound. I asked SE to change or alter the looping of the sound.
The only real solution to the issue of SE handing players a tool that is so easy to use to grief is in SE's hands, hence the request.
I hate to break it to you, but your request will go straight into the void like the other 99% of requests people ask for in the forums. There are third party tools that can help you with that problem or you lower your Sound Effects.
Possible. On the other hand, several small things I've brought to SE's attention have been addressed, so I know they read the forums and do sometimes act on them. This is specifically where SE wants these sorts of suggestions to be made. So I make my request and let it be while making liberal use of /blist add <t>.
