I’d like to see the sound of welding. Maybe see some sparks from the welders fall. Also, have them in random places each time you dock.
Can we get some diversity in the Citadel environments?

The issue of noise at Trade hubs can be easily solved. Modern airports tend to have aircraft clustered by Corporation in their own halls. If you have ships docking from the same Corporation they would be allocated space next to each other. Therefore ship docking noises are going to be related to the size of the Corporation. Small Corps have very low noise levels while NPC Corp hubs are the noisest. While Corps with active wars would be allocated berths at opposite ends of a Docking ring. The Docking ring is in vacuum therefore no direct noise from other areas., etc.
As far as noise generated just for the sake of having some noise in station, my response will be the mute button.

There are no vacuums in eve.
My point exactly - Jita 4-4 would be noisy anyone that can actually hear would HAVE to mute it - 2,000+ players in station at any given time, the noise would be deafening.
Keep in mind CCP has a really bad track record when it comes to balancing things. Audio controls already leave a lot to be desired, unless they put in an audio control specifically for station sounds (highly unlikely) it is going to be an “on” “off” situation.
For Amarr stations:
Welcome pilot, have you prayed enough today?
The in-station Church is always open to you for free, head there to escape from the busy day and have some moments of peace with yourself and the God!
For Caldari:
All active traders, don’t forget to check up on the your market orders before submitting to the brokers.
The market errors are still the leading cause of suicide among the pilots!
Minmatar:
Reminder for pilots to take care of you personal belongings! The number of in station thefts is unusually high today.
Any criminal cases must be reported to the in-station security posts available on each floor.
Gallente:
Attention to all pilots, the station has a large food and entertainment section on the floor 77-D Area 2, open at all times.
Head there right now for the daily dose of good emotions!

Exactly. The audio in this game is one of its best features. We can see how enthusiastic people are about it.
Was there really a juke box? I was thinking a juke box would be cool actually. Maybe be able to connect it to a player’s soundcloud or mixcloud? It would allow podcasts to be streamed through, adverts and music mixes as well.

I like the idea of voice commands. Nice one.

The audio in the game WAS quite good, until those who designed it left and those who took over changed it all “to something worse”.
Don’t like constant “noise” while docked - Turn off ALL ambient sounds, sadly this means when you undock - You’ll have no sound.
Arrendis - Adding stuff just to justify your pay packet doesn’t make it good, regardless of whether it takes away from game development or not.
Crappy repetitive sound effects or in this case 1 liners aren’t worth development time, even for a dedicated audio team.
Add something that will actually be of benefit to players or just leave it alone.
If the samples in the blog are anything to go by - LEAVE IT ALONE would be the best option.,.
When is this going live? can we have some different backgrounds too?
I like that one
