Dear CSM

I am sensitive to noise, and I find the background rumble during Project Discovery to be irritating.  
It seems the only way to turn it off is to mute “UI Sound Level”, but if I do that, a lot of actually useful noises will be lost.  
My suggestion is that CCP add a slider under “Advanced Audio Settings” for “Background Noise”, which would affect Project Discovery, and any other future background noise.

Thanks

Agreed, it’s like in the game “Control” the hiss! 😃

I too find that noise very irritating! Glad it’s not just me.  
Thank you for pointing it out.

Yeah the exact reason i didn’t bother with this version of project discovery.  
I guess there is allways grey noise playing at full volume at CCP HQ - would explain many things.
