PLEASE allow option to disable 'crowd sounds'.

[Punainen]

For the love of the Twelve, I can't take the screaming and yelling that's inescapable in the East Shroud... I'm sick of hearing the loud mumblings every time I approach the market board. It was novel at first, but now it just annoys me.
For one, it's too loud, and then also in some story-focused areas it totally ruins the mood of the story. I'm watching cutscenes of something dramatic, and it sounds like I'm on a crowded banquet hall.

I'd like the be able to turn down JUST the volume of these sounds and no others, and/or outright mute them.
And please don't say 'just mute ambient sounds'. I want to hear the birds and the crickets and the wolves and the wind... I just don't want to hear the incessant SCREAMS every time I get near 5 or more people.


"AAAH EEEE AAAGH!!" ~ The East Shroud

I don't personally have a problem with the background chatter... Well that's not 100% true... Whenever I'm crafting I always swear I hear a woman say something hotplates. I dunno why, but it drives me mad >_>. Other then that I think the battle sounds are pretty cool. BUT, I agree about there should be a disable button. I don't see why not, there's no downside to it. But there are upsides... LIKE NO HOTPLATES :3

The noises to get to be a little too much at times IMO. I would like the option to turn it off or down...we do in real life so why not in a game.

[Syfin]

Why would you want to get rid of something so immersive? People amaze me. You must hate cities.

[Jmeat]

I think the reason is that it loops so often. I hear that Lala laugh/surprise emote so often while crafting ... I just turn down the volume after awhile.

[ZakarnRosewood]

Check out your sound options. Its there, just turn it down or off.

[Synthesis]

crowd sounds are gerat ! You can adjust ambient volume a little bit down, if its too noisy for you. I did...

[Alhanelem]

I love the crowd sounds. It's nice to have in the absence of your character's actually being able to speak.

People are getting damn specific about the options now. We're only a few steps behind "I want to only hear the wings flapping on flying mobs or mobs that have heavy footsteps".

[Ashiee]

Yes Please. They are really distracting during Cutscenes when it only shows your character around, but there's a ton of talking in the background.
