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?
