[1601] Change Drone sound or add option to mute done either locally and/or globally for instances
Kaycie Shchi
The current drone sounds in the open beta have a sound effect that can be seen by others as distracting or otherwise unpleasant to listen to for varying periods of time. Changing the sound effect to something that is less obnoxious. Perhaps setting the volume for camera related sounds like the drone to their own independent slider or toggle in the settings menu or adding a mute option to whenever you have the drone out would be preferable.

I agree. I don't like the sounds drones make.
So I had to disable them completely.
I don't want to sacrifice all my UI sound effect for the drones.
I'd like a toggle or a slide to change drone's volume.

I believe the sound is sort of a payoff as when you go into FPV at least in desktop mode the player audio listener attaches to the drone so people can hear the drone coming.

You can mute drones though with the UI/Menu volume slider I just noticed.

Having the camera/drone sounds be tied to the same audio slide as UI is somewhat inconvenient, as it would also mute other menu noises or even notifications. And to reply to your earlier post, this canny talks about the drone sound in general being pretty harsh on the ears for anyone who is sensitive to any sounds involved with buzzing or whirring. It might also get in the way if say- you are trying to record a fight scene or music video only to have the audio polluted by that same drone noise.
