Is it particularly for melee based jobs? IIRC casters didnt really have combat voices, and ranged was somewhat limited? Could be misremembering this though.
Casters don’t make combat sounds (I guess we’re all non-verbal spellcasters in this game). Tanks and melee aren’t as loud as the physical ranged are, though. I tested out the new sounds on both a melee DPS and a physical ranged on a Striking Dummy, and the noises were very apparent on both BRD and DNC (though, DNC steps don’t make a sound any more when you use them like they did before).

It’s only really jarring to hear the two sounds that are about an octave or more higher than my character’s default voice. They sound louder than all the rest—and it’s quite annoying to hear her randomly going NYAH! NYAH! during combat when she never made a sound like that before. Her default sounds are definitely less frequent in usage—instead I get the annoying new sound described here more often than not.
