Speedbarge Silencer

I'm looking for the name and path of the sound file that the Speedbarge Diving Helm buff in Thousand Needles uses.

I find the noise really grates after a while and while I can just mute the computer or use Ctrl+S I would rather just override the sound with a blank/empty file (similar to Train Wreck and Water Elemental Silencer).

Any help is appreciated!

Bump

I'm looking for the same thing...any help would be great. I'm on the 1st of many toons I plan on leveling through Thousand Needles, and it's already grating on my nerves. I can't imagine going though it 3 or 4 more times having to listen to that hissing the whole time.

It seems to be a combination of multiple sounds. I've tried searching for the file but cannot seem to find it. I know one of the sounds below is included with the Speedbarge sound.

Code:
Sound\Spells\FX_Bubbles_Large_Loop_01.ogg
Sound\Spells\FX_Bubbles_Large_Loop_02.ogg
Sound\Spells\FX_Bubbles_Large_Loop_03.ogg
Sound\Spells\FX_Bubbles_Medium_Loop_01.ogg
Sound\Spells\FX_Bubbles_Medium_Loop_02.ogg
Sound\Spells\FX_Bubbles_Medium_Loop_03.ogg
Sound\Spells\FX_Bubbles_Small_Loop_01.ogg
Sound\Spells\FX_Bubbles_Small_Loop_02.ogg
Sound\Spells\FX_Bubbles_Small_Loop_03.ogg

Here is a good list of all the sound files:

Can someone tell me how to view/listen to the files in the sound folder? I can't seem to figure out how to make them viewable.

You have to use an MPQ extracting software to be able to view the sounds. However like I mentioned before, I've search for the speedbarge helmet sound effect and it seems to be a combination of different sounds. So I don't think there is no real way to silence it without silencing all the other sounds that make it up.

I think you're right, that it is a combo of different sound files, but it's just the hissing noise that I want to silence. The bubbles don't bother me at all. I found a couple files that sound like the right ones, but when I put them into the "Data" folder under the correct \Sound subfolder/directory, they don't seem to silence the hissing created by the buff:

/script PlaySoundFile("Sound\\Doodad\\Sizzle.ogg")
/script PlaySoundFile("Sound\\Doodad\\SteamLoop.ogg")

These are the 2 that I found that I think are the culprits. Sizzle sounds like an exact match to me, with SteamLoop as a close second. I made "blank" sound files with those names and put them into a "Doodad" folder under "Data\Sounds", but still getting the noise when in the water in 1K-Needles.

any thoughts?

I think it shouldn't be in the Data folder? Try it in "Sound\Doodad\" instead?

It's currently in (following the example of other sound/pet/mount silencing files I've downloaded here) "World of Warcraft/Data/Sounds/Doodad/Sizzle.wav".

Apparently the game looks in the Data file before going to the default folder for things, so if you want to "replace" a file without tampering with the actual game files, you place it there, so the game will see it, and just not look for the real file.

As far as I can tell, I'm doing everything right (which is why I'm asking for confirmation). The only other option I see, is instead of the noise that the Diving Helmet creates being a mish-mash of multiple sound files, it's actually one sound file with multiple sounds on it that I haven't found yet.

I was just suggesting that, as AFAIK all paths are relative to the root WoW folder, instead of to the folder that the MPQ's are in.

Sounds

You can always use this addon to checkout all the sounds in the game I suppose.

That's what I used to find the sounds I listed above. It's a HUGE list, though, and I ran out of search terms to try and narrow down my options.
