MuteSoundFile -- Post Sound IDs here!

Guides UI and Macro
3

Mute Annoying WoW Sounds cannot be updated. It’s permanently broke unless Blizzard adds new API functionality or restores what worked previously.

As of this moment, the only solution is either to use MuteSoundFile or for someone to create a more elegant version of it. But, either way, someone (or the community) has to generate the list of SoundIDs that need to be muted. It’s not hard, but it would take a lot of time/energy for one or two people to do it alone.

Basically, all of us want an updated version of Mute Annoying WoW Sounds; but, there’s no easy way to do create it. I think it will have to be a collaborative/community effort.

I’m just ripping off the sound path names from Mute Annoying WoW Sounds and mapping them to filedataids

5

Yea, I think that’s what we have to do …but, it just seemed such a monumental task that I didn’t want to do it alone. If I have time maybe I’ll see if there is a way to automate it using some linux command line functionality to spew all of the file paths to a text file and then look them up in bulk on WoW tools site.

Please post what you have so far! :slight_smile:

I converted most of the sound paths to FileDataIDs and plugged them into the MuteSoundFile savedvariables which works, but it will make the GUI choke on showing 8.7K sounds though

  • https://github.com/ketho-wow/MuteAnnoying/blob/master/Converter/output/MuteSoundFile_soundList.lua

Also uploaded a new addon MuteAnnoying which is pending approval by Curse. It has no options, it just tries to copy the functionality from Mute Annoying WoW Sounds

  • https://github.com/ketho-wow/MuteAnnoying
  • https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/muteannoying

8723 (70%) out of 12,314 sounds were converted to FileDataIDs. The ones it could not match were probably changed to a different sound path. You can see them here:

  • https://github.com/ketho-wow/MuteAnnoying/blob/master/Converter/output/missing.lua

I used a Powershell and Lua script for the initial conversion, don’t know much about automating stuff fwiw. I just hope the community will make an updated and categorized list of sounds somewhere for any addon to use

I also had to mute Scrollsage Nola’s sickly sweet “Another turtle made it to the water” that she repeats over and over. Plus a couple other overly sugar shweet statements.

Thank everyone for their helpful posts and work!

These are all the repetitive idle growls while in druid catform:
1323574 sound/creature/druidcat/mon_dr_catform_spellattack01.ogg
1323575 sound/creature/druidcat/mon_dr_catform_spellattack02.ogg
1323576 sound/creature/druidcat/mon_dr_catform_spellattack03.ogg
1323577 sound/creature/druidcat/mon_dr_catform_spellattack04.ogg
1323578 sound/creature/druidcat/mon_dr_catform_spellattack05.ogg

this is the druid sound every time entering flightform (stormcrow/raven):
545936 sound/creature/carrion/mcarrionwoundcriticala.ogg

this is the general dismount sound:
569026 sound/spells/spiritwolf.ogg

these emotes have been spammed at various parts of the game (particularly the laugh):
539883 sound/character/dwarf/dwarfmale/dwarfmalelaugh01.ogg
539875 sound/character/dwarf/dwarfmale/dwarfmalecry01.ogg
542815 sound/character/tauren/female/taurenfemalecry01.ogg

here is nola’s calligraphy dialogue, to add a few more from her:
2765671 sound/creature/scrollsage_nola/vo_815_scrollsage_nola_06_f.ogg
2765672 sound/creature/scrollsage_nola/vo_815_scrollsage_nola_07_f.ogg
2765673 sound/creature/scrollsage_nola/vo_815_scrollsage_nola_08_f.ogg

All of the motorcycle sounds are at the very bottom of Ketho’s list. I’m not sure if the druid ones i posted are on it, but just about everything else is though.

Thanks again everyone. Hope this helps

What is the process for actually locating sound ids? I’ve been copying lists from other addons, forums threads like this one, or searching wow.tools / wowhead through trial and error until I locate the correct id. Is there a way to easily find the ids of sounds? Perhaps a script you can run in game to list all active sounds or something?

11

If you know the NPC that is making the sound, you would look up their sound kit names on Wowhead, but the Wowhead sounds tab seems to be missing a lot of sounds
https://wow.gamepedia.com/API_MuteSoundFile#Finding_Sound_IDs

Otherwise if it’s not from a NPC you would have to do some digging on wow.tools

So for example to locate the sounds id(s) from the Spectral Grog buff, I’d need to just search for keywords that I think would make sense to have been used in the file name? In this case the buff emits a constant ghostly / spectral / spirit sound effect for the full 1 hour duration. Just search for keywords like that and hope for the best? I’ve been doing this already, I was just hoping there was a more simple method. Ideally a way to get a list of all sound names or ids that are currently playing.

13

afaik there is no way to get a list of active (non-interface) sound names with an addon or script

14

Looking to find Marz “Who we going to kill today?” greetings that ALWAYS pop up every single portal/flying/phase/hearthstone etc. Its getting me mad

I would like to mute all abomination factory construct sounds ,but marz especially… These npcs are from the special building from necrolords

Looked up on wowhead but all the sounds they have listed there are combat sounds… any help would be greatly appreciated

Has anyone been able to find the Stormwind Skychaser sound IDs? I’ve tried so many things but can’t figure out how to mute this damn thing.

17

Most of them probably come from the gyrocopter sounds.

18

yeah I thought so too and I tried using a lot of different coptor ID/spell IDs but the damn thing wont shut up! worst part is that WowHead does not list any NPC for it so it’s pretty much impossible I guess… really loved this mount but man is it noisy…

Install: https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/leatrix-sounds

dang im super dumb. I had the old version of the mod that this specific thread actually points out… im so confused how it was muting my other sounds but either way it just wont work with this specific mount but using the newew MuteSoundFile + your Leatrix Sounds has resolved my issue… it’s completely silent now. thank you so much man.

21

Did you change the list setting from Sound Files to SoundKits?

Edit: Message posted at the same time as the previous. Left here just in case it helps future travelers.

If anyone knows the IDs to mute the Dragonriding mount roaring, please do tell.
