Please for the love of my sanity add an option to turn the white noise background sound off.

    There is currently a white noise background sound in the game that sounds sort of like listening underwater in a pool. or the muffled sounds of a jet engine. it is driving me insane as this sound is completely unaffected by the sound options and there is no way to turn it off. i think this sound needs to be removed or give us an option to turn it off.

    TBH this sounds like a bug. Have you checked the bug tracker to see if its been reported? If not, perhaps a bug report is in order.

    Or, mute the game entirely. The sounds in Starmade are currently shoddy as all hell.

    muting the game does not work on this background noise. it continues to persist.

    If muting the game (through your OS's volume controls) and it's still making the noise - it's not the game.

    I've encountered the "idle jet" noise before, and it's definitely the game.

    Even after muting the game with the OS's volume control?

    How strange. Do you have the audio system enabled for the game?

    I always liked the sound actually.

    Starmade is often far to quiet...

    Couldn't that be the sound the core block makes ? You can only hear it if your view is within a certain radius of the core. So people with huge ships with cameras usually won't hear it.

    Until something is done about it, I guess you could replace the sound file with a silent .ogg file maybe ? (You can make one with Audacity)
    Apparently its over there :
    "StarMade\data\audio-resource\Ambience Loops\0022_ambience loop - interior cockpit (loop).ogg"
