** EDIT: Scroll down and read the posting by Ketho before reading my original post in this thread. He has written a tool that automatically did what I was suggesting that we all do manually

Many of used the addon "Mute Annoying WoW Sounds ; however, it no longer functions as of patch 8.2.
A new addon was created, āMuteSoundFileā, which allows for you to enter the SoundID for each sound you want to mute. But, the in-game GUI for this addon makes adding sounds slow and tedious.
Fortunately, one can edit the settings XML file for MuteSoundFile ā¦so, I was thinking that we could all post the ones we have here in a thread so that weāre not all having to go through and find every single sound to mute. My goal, for example, would be to eventually re-create the functionality of āMute Annoying WoW Soundsā via āMuteSoundFileā.
So ā here are the steps to use whatās in this thread or to contribute. While the game is not running, go to your World of Warcraft directory, then under retail -> WTF -> Account -> ######## -> SavedVariables ā¦and open the file MuteSoundFile.lua
Within this file will be a section that looks like this:
["soundList"] = {
["worgenmale_emotesniff_03.ogg"] = 564536,
["fizzlefrosta.ogg"] = 569775,
["worgenmale_emotesniff_01.ogg"] = 564560,
["worgenfemale_emotesniff_01.ogg"] = 564422,
["squire_summon_trumpet"] = 598187,
["fizzleshadowa.ogg"] = 569776,
["squire_summon_horn"] = 598079,
["worgenfemale_emotesniff_03.ogg"] = 564383,
["worgenfemale_emotesniff_02.ogg"] = 564378,
["worgenmale_emotesniff_02.ogg"] = 564544,
["fizzleholya.ogg"] = 569772,
["fizzlefirea.ogg"] = 569773,
["fizzlenaturea.ogg"] = 569774,
},
You can add to this list very easily, as long as the game is not running. Then, just save the file and youāll be all good. For example, letās say someone shared with me all of the Grand Expedition Yak sounds. I would add them to my list so that it then would look like:
["soundList"] = {
["worgenmale_emotesniff_03.ogg"] = 564536,
["fizzlefrosta.ogg"] = 569775,
["worgenmale_emotesniff_01.ogg"] = 564560,
["worgenfemale_emotesniff_01.ogg"] = 564422,
["squire_summon_trumpet"] = 598187,
["fizzleshadowa.ogg"] = 569776,
["squire_summon_horn"] = 598079,
["worgenfemale_emotesniff_03.ogg"] = 564383,
["worgenfemale_emotesniff_02.ogg"] = 564378,
["worgenmale_emotesniff_02.ogg"] = 564544,
["fizzleholya.ogg"] = 569772,
["fizzlefirea.ogg"] = 569773,
["fizzlenaturea.ogg"] = 569774,
["vo_grummle_standard_vendor_01"] = 640336,
["vo_grummle_standard_vendor_02"] = 640338,
["vo_grummle_standard_vendor_03"] = 640340,
["vo_grummle_standard_farewell_01"] = 640314,
["vo_grummle_standard_farewell_02"] = 640316,
["vo_grummle_standard_farewell_03"] = 640318,
["vo_grummle_standard_farewell_04"] = 640320,
["vo_grummle_kooky_vendor_01"] = 640180,
["vo_grummle_kooky_vendor_02"] = 640182,
["vo_grummle_kooky_vendor_03"] = 640184,
["vo_grummle_kooky_farewell_01"] = 640158,
["vo_grummle_kooky_farewell_02"] = 640160,
["vo_grummle_kooky_farewell_03"] = 640162,
["vo_grummle_kooky_farewell_04"] = 640164,
},
Anyway, any time you add new sounds to your MuteSoundFile addon, please open up your MuteSoundFile.lua settings file (under WTF, as described above) and copy/paste it here in this thread!
Or, if someone else is more motivated than me, they could start a nice Google Doc with a comprehensive MuteSoundFile.lua setting file that everyone could then just copy/paste into theirs, etc.
