What. The. Hell?
Giving this a bump so people can see it.
This is also the exact issue I am having. The audio has not been fixed since launch. Now it is also accompanied by a “Memory at such and such cannot be read” crash. This needs to be fixed asap.
Hello
Yes it has been reported here
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/bugs/Annoying-Sound-Bug
A workaround that seemed to have worked for me is to lower the Sound Quality in the sound otpions. (I had it at max, now it is one tic before max)
As far as the annoying sound issue goes, it seems very similar to the issue a lot of people were having in Godslost Swamp (I think that’s what it’s called), which I’ve personally experienced: while fighting the shadow behemoth, there was a really annoying, loud sound that would come up and the only way people seemed to be able to fix it was to reclient their game. Fixed it for me, though I didn’t think about adjusting the sound quality.
I think the issue in Godslost was fixed, so undoubtedly the fix for this issue would be the same, if it’s similar on the technical/code side. Like as not it is.
I have this very same problem with the Ice Dragon (can’t remember the name) in the 70-80 norn map. Except that my client crash about after 1-2 minutes of the start of this sound.
I have that audio bug too. It seems to almost always happen when fighting world bosses with that specific music related to it. It can lead to eventual crash of the game as a bonus.
This happens to me whenever I get to a place with more than 50 creatures or so in the same spot and sound quality is set to max.
This happens mostly in WvW and the biggest Meta events.
I also tend to have this happening to me when things get hectic, sometimes the game also crashes after a while.
