I can confirm this works. No need for even logging out to test, it works right away.

See the wiki for more details

https://wow.gamepedia.com/API_MuteSoundFile

There already is an addon that can mute specific sounds

• https://github.com/funkydude/MuteSoundFile
• https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/mutesoundfile

Mute Annoying WoW Sounds will probably also be updated

• https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/mute-wow-sounds

Example for muting the fizzle sounds:

local sounds = {
	569772, -- sound/spells/fizzle/fizzleholya.ogg
	569773, -- sound/spells/fizzle/fizzlefirea.ogg
	569774, -- sound/spells/fizzle/fizzlenaturea.ogg
	569775, -- sound/spells/fizzle/fizzlefrosta.ogg
	569776, -- sound/spells/fizzle/fizzleshadowa.ogg
}

for _, fdid in pairs(sounds) do
	MuteSoundFile(fdid)
end

You can put this in a WeakAura or in the REHack addon or make one yourself with https://addon.bool.no/

https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/mutesoundfile

They added changes today that allow you mute certain sounds, the addon listed above lets you manually enter a sound to mute it, Im sure in the next few days someone will make specific mute addons for certain sounds.

enter these into the above addon to mute the sniffing:
564378 sound/creature/worgenfemale/worgenfemale_emotesniff_02.ogg
564383 sound/creature/worgenfemale/worgenfemale_emotesniff_03.ogg
564422 sound/creature/worgenfemale/worgenfemale_emotesniff_01.ogg
564536 sound/creature/worgenmale/worgenmale_emotesniff_03.ogg
564544 sound/creature/worgenmale/worgenmale_emotesniff_02.ogg
564560 sound/creature/worgenmale/worgenmale_emotesniff_01.ogg

Dude, THANK YOU. Total life saver!

I wanted to report I was able to take my previous Sounds folder (which muted sounds I didn’t want to hear), and a python script ( pastebin dot com / 7208R4LZ ) to pull the files out of it and the listfile.csv from CascExplorer to lookup all the ID’s, and write out a core.lua (I made that simple addon using addon.bool.no as suggested above, and this just overwrites the file).

End result, about 8000 lines of muted sounds. I was worried it might not work but it seems to. I mute most “other class” spell sounds etc and it makes raiding a lot more tranquil plus I can hear what I’m doing. Note that this doesn’t let you replace sounds, just mute (a lot of) them.

Hope this helps someone!

Guess we’ll have to wait for an update.

[Dwarfwarlock-moon-guard]

Still waiting, patience.

[Jacquell-wyrmrest-accord (Jacquell)]

Still waiting for a fix, this might take a while. Queue elevator music while on hold.

[Fedaru-tanaris]

Haven’t played at all since this horrible change. I still don’t know why Blizz changed the gun sounds all those years ago to the current pea shooter garbage. Please let us use the old gun sounds again. Even better would be a checkbox in the options: “Use Good Gun Sounds”.

[Oakenshroot-durotan]

Worked for me! Thanks!

[Erelir-bleeding-hollow (Erelir)]

Works perfectly, thank you.

Bumping for visibility because it took me entirely too long to find this solution.

[Dwarfwarlock-moon-guard]

Still no word on actually replacing the sounds though.

[Bull-alexstrasza (Bull)]

would love a fix, this change really sucks
