I think it came from a quest in Maldraxxus that had a cutscene? Don’t know for sure, it’s been a while since it happened.Sitting outside on a summer's evening is one of life's little pleasures, so you'll need to have your garden's lighting sorted (along with a fire pit and a heater to keep you cosy) so you'll be ready to enjoy lounging late into the night. I didn’t realize it wasn’t supposed to be there until I went to another SL zone and could still hear it.

It was some kind of whispy ghosty hum spell sounding thing and it just stuck around for hours. The last time I can remember was in Maldraxxus. It seems to happen in SL zones and has been the only place I’ve seen it. Not sure if there’s a sound equivalent to /console gxrestart like /console sfxrestart or something like that, but it would be nice to have to “unstick” sounds that get stuck looping because someone forgot to toss a checkmark on something that would tell it to stop. Turning sound on and off in the settings doesn’t seem to fix it either because it doesn’t actually restart the sound engine (as far as I know, the game still simulates all of the sound effects even if sound is disabled). I wan’t to say it was even playing in the character select screen. And by relog, I think I had to go all the way back to the login screen or close out of the game. I’ve noticed a glitch at least a dozen times where some sound effect gets stuck in a loop and will continue to play until you relog or go through a “hard” portal like from Oribos to Org. I know I haven’t been the greatest in my life on Azeroth but I didn’t think I deserved this punishment in the afterlife… This whisper/wind isn’t tied to any enemy nearby or certain areas, it’s just a constant droning on no matter where you are in Oribos, the Maw, the Bastion city and some other places.

Please, PLEASE move the constant whisper/wind sound to the ambience control level so we can raise/lower it as we like. But wow, this wind/whisper stuff everywhere is driving me up the wall, and it’s overpowering all other sound effects in this game. I typically play with music and ambience lowered anyway so I can really enjoy the bass in explosive raid fights. So if I want to keep my sanity and lower the whisper/winds, I can no longer hear the KABOOM of moonfire or other fun sound effects. The whispers/wind is blended in with the other sound effects.

Yes, I’ve gone into system preferences and lowered the ambience sound and the music sound, but that doesn’t lower the whispers/wind. I thought it was just the Maw at first (which would be appropriate since Hell is supposed to be torture afterall), but in certain places in Bastian, in Oribos, in tons of other places there’s this constant whining of wind/whispers that’s at a higher level of all other sound. There is a constant whisper/wind sound whining nearly everywhere you go. I have high end speakers and headphones because I enjoy how immersive the sound design is. I love when my druid roars, I love the explosions of moonfire, I love the clatter of hooves when I run over metal ramparts. Not sure where else to report this so let me know if another place is better.
