Guild Wars 2

As the title says, i’m very sensitive to high sounds, the new maps are driving me crazy!

I assume it’s ment to be some sort of bird sound, but it’s so high i can’t stand it.
Is there a sound option i could disable to avoid hearing this?

It’s actually forcing me to play without sound, or not playing at all, as i can’t stand it.

Playing fully muted isn’t that fun.

I’m just going to assume you didn’t bother to read the ‘’wall of text’’…

Have you checked out the sound settings? In-game, hit the [Esc] key. Go to [Options]. Click the speaker icon on the left side of the window (I think it’s the third from the top). There are several volume sliders there.

Then I don’t know what kind of computer you’re running. Sound cards and even integrated sound on a motherboard will often come with Windows drivers and a program to manage the settings. On my computer, I have an equalizer that I can adjust. Perhaps you have a similar option if you dig around in the settings and installed programs. If you can lower the high end, it might not be as bad.

I’m not that experienced with the equalizer but i’ll give it a shot.

Thanks in advance.

Yikes! All I can recommend is that there are seperate volume controls in game for music and sound effects. And one of them should lower the birds (but at the expense of whatever else is controlled by that switch). Short of Anet doing something on their end I that’s all I can think of.

Is there software out there that gives you better controls than Windows’ volume sliders? If there was something that worked as an equalizer, you could cut the high frequency sound across the board.

Edit: And the universe beats me to it. :P

Clearly this player is Sylvari and is admitting Mordremoth is in their head.
