Ever since patch 11.0, the Undercity Plaguebat mount is roaring constantly (making the same noises it used to make occasionally when left sitting idle or using /mountspecial). This always happens at least once upon summoning the mount, but sometimes it triggers two sets of “roars” which causes a lot of noisy overlap every time the mount is summoned.
I’ve also noticed that when sitting idle, the mount makes its idle noise far more often than it used to (and I’ve been using this mount since BFA). I timed it for several minutes, and the average seems to be that it makes noise every 15-20 seconds (sometimes the gap between sets of roars is as low as 10 seconds, sometimes as high as 30-35 seconds).
It’s not so bad at first, but after using this mount to level in The War Within zones (with the constant mounting and dismounting I’m doing), the excessive roaring is really wearing on me. I love this mount and it never used to be this noisy. I can only think that the sudden excess of noises it’s making has something to do with the addition of skyriding for old mounts.
Is anyone else having a similar problem with other mounts that occasionally used to make noises?

Circling back to bump this thread for visibility. Has anyone else had this issue? I have seen older threads from 10.1 mentioning a noise issue for dragonriding mounts during Dragonflight. Was there never a fix for this?
This is feeling like a serious “monkey’s paw” moment for me. I missed using my plaguebat during Dragonflight and was excited to be able to have skyriding enabled on it in The War Within.
Now the noise it makes is constant and incessant… every single time it’s summoned, without fail, I get a series of screeches that just persist way longer than they need to.
If there’s an addon anyone knows of to help alleviate this issue, I would happily take the recommendation. Leatrix hasn’t proven useful, as I cannot seem to find any trace of what the sound file name might be for the plaguebat screeches.

This has been happening to me a ton as well and it’s incredibly frustrating.

Bumping for more visibility. Hopefully we can get a solution or an answer as to what’s causing the mount to suddenly become so noisy.

Yep. Same thing. Drives me insane.

Same problem here. Impossible to use the mount that won’t be quiet.

Still she screams. I hear her screams when I’m asleep. When I go to work. When I go to church. When I pay my taxes.
Her screaming is there, like a splinter in my mind, driving me mad.

Bump because I hear the calls of chaos in the night.

Bump. The mount often cycles through sounds for a good 5-10 seconds. Reproduceable as it starts oftentimes when you mount.

does anyone know if there’s a way to tell if these (https://www.wowhead.com/sound=74566/mon-felbat-mount-attackcrit) are the sounds that the mount makes, it sounds similar but I don’t know if it’s the same.
or maybe one of the other felbat sounds (https://www.wowhead.com/sounds/name:felbat) because there isn’t a sound file listed for undercity plaguebat

Bumping this again because oh my god it’s so annoying. I haven’t been able to use this mount for months and I can’t even get an addon to mute it since Wowhead doesn’t have the sound file.

Bumping this thread, because unfortunately, the Undercity Plaguebat continues to screech incessantly.
As an aside, when using the DH class mount from Legion (Slayer’s Felbroken Shrieker)—a mount which uses the same skeleton, and the same audio upon being summoned—this issue is not present. The mount makes the noise shortly after being summoned, but does not continue to do so when sitting idle for more than a few seconds.
As of right now, it seems that the Undercity Plaguebat is uniquely affected by whatever bug is causing it to roar/scream excessively.

I wish it were so.
Alas, I am sitting on the mount in Dornogal at the moment and it’s still letting loose with a double volley of screeches every 15-30 seconds.

Bumping this. The screeches are to much and needs to be cut back. The screeches are annoying to the point were I don’t even want to use the mount even though it looks cool.
