• Player: The fucking police whistle is STUPID LOUD for no reason
• Player: blast cannon bad
• Player: bwoink sound, remove it all together, as a matter of fact remove admins all together they fucking suck and ruin fun for everyone
• Player: Telecomms, even just a few telecomms machines (4 for a minimum setup) blow out your ears if you get too close.
• Player: Welding
• Player: the arrival shuttle departing
• Player: bwoink. in all seriousness some sounds around th Supermatter are painful to hear
• Player: I personally have misophonia, or extreme irritation caused by eating noises. I don't mean to add on to your workload, but if you could add an option to disable all eating noises that would be a godsend for my experience.
• Player: supermatter, gravgen, a lot of the tool sounds but only as the user
• Player: The fucking frog
• Player: I know it's intentional, but the nuke blowing up the station sound effect really doesn't need to be 50 times louder than the rest of the game.
• Player: None, in fact some are too quiet, I would recommend increasing the audio of most sounds like footsteps
• Player: None, in fact some are too quiet, I would recommend increasing the audio of most sounds like footsteps
• Player: BWOINK
• Player: grav gen hurt ear pls nerf
• Player: The portal storm sound effects are annoying
• Player: the Modsuit error sound, which usually plays when you try and activate your suit with the panel open or whatnot. that thing is so loud, and it always makes me jump whenever im not expecting it. the sound itself isnt bad i suppose, but please quiet it down
• Player: the frog and toy mouth are loud as hell
• Player: Energy sword
• Player: portal storm + the colossus "horn"
• Player: Nothing. Audio is one of the only things that we really are missing, and I would like more audio before we start cutting shit :D
• Player: Experimental Destructive Scanner - cytology destructive scan experiments (vat-grown cockroach, mice) is too loud. Borg in the destructor makes the same sound but maybe given that circumstance is justified in being a bit louder.
• Player: lobby music
• Player: Airlocks, telecoms
• Player: when sm delams and the audio gets REALLY crusty
• Player: body getting dismembered and being gibbed is awfully loud paired with an explosion

• Player: FIRE ALARMS
• Player: Clown shoes.
• Player: SM kills
• Player: that pahhhhhhhhhhhhhh when you walking down the hall
• Player: When you step on a bunch of lightbulb's at once it is deafening. Perhaps make it so only one of the bulbs make audio, or have a seperate sound for when 2+ bulbs are stepped on.
• Player: fire alarms
• Player: supermatter hum at higher energy/mole levels canbe ear-destroying.
• Player: Firelocks. REMOVE FIRELOCKS. A slight change in degrees? BWAAHHHH!!! BHWAAAAAAAAHHH!!!
• Player: Get rid of the fire alarm and telecomms sounds, they're just obnoxious as hell.

• Player: The frog's scream is very painful to hear at times
• Player: There is only one sound I have a complaint about. PLEASE, FOR THE LOVE OF ZAZA, CHANGE THE NULL ROD/ANTI-MAGIC ACTIVATION SOUND!! I'd expect something magical-sounding enough to come out of it, not some sort of weird combination of someone sucking on an empty juice box mixed with scratched chalkboard.
• Player: Police whistle
• Player: The Arrivals Shuttle docking noise has taken a few years off of my functioning hearing.
• Player: fire alarms
• Player: moving over TCOMMS as a player or ghost (and maybe AI? i forgor) is real fuckin loud I think grav gen also has the same issue of being loud as fuck the instant you move into the room next to it

• Player: telecomms but its reasonable given that youre in a contained room with the most fucking obnoxious technology to repair to begin with the rock guitar? red guitar? very annoying personally with the BEE BEE BEE BEE BEEs every second but i muted most instruments myself
• Player: The PDA noise when you scan a pipe with the atmospheric app It makes a really annoying beeping sound. It's not that loud, but it plays every time you scan and makes it hard to use

• Player: Some, if not all, of the SM sounds. Ia combination of them being very loud and very very bass heavy. I like the SM sounds but they are far too loud and the bass is too much.
• Player: The public testing chamber outside science is very loud and its sound keeps the same volume no matter how far away you are from it, or if line of sight is broken. Also it's a tad grating I guess.

• Player: Disco inferno
• Player: Nar'Sie spawn is so loud that I have to take my headset off everytime it happens. Also if I remember, some lightning and gun sounds are a bit too loud (Can't remember which in particular though). Also those brass boots can be a little annoying, but I think that's the point of them.

• Player: Nothing,this game's sound design is great as it is,a simple BWOINK can strike fear into anyone,and the iconic roundend sounds like the ''You baggy doncutting'' Keep them the same
• Player: The sound of stuff going into the delivery chute stacks. If you were to flush, say, 50 bullet casings down disposals, it'll play the disposal sound 50 times stacked on eachother. The instrument delivery pod is also a bit loud but not to the point of blowing your ears out.
