Thanks, we can look into this.

It does not conform to any sound settings, I tested this by lowering everything and the slamming door still persists. It also doesn't matter where you place the doodad, its loud anywhere you put it. Regardless of model 1 or 2.

Wasn't sure whether to make this a bug report, or in feedback.



Edit, testing proximity to see if it is "proximity based" in other words, when you are within a certain radius of the doodad, it activates, opening/shutting the door.

I wonder if the intention is to have this in an area that you don't stand in frequently? because If you just keep it next to your waypoint, it will open/shut the door constantly whether you are intreracting or not.

Will test more and report.

Using this screenshot as a guide, it appears that if the doodad is in your "Screen view" it will activate, in other words, if I move just above the top blue arrow, it will be out of my view, and it doesnt seem to activate.



Resolution 1920x1080, it is BARELY in my view (look at the mana globe) and it still activates.



EDIT - ***PROXIMITY TESTING***

Door still slams, the SHADOW of the doodad is barely in view.




Doodad no longer in view, slam/opening/closing sound persists.



Doodad is FURTHER OUT of view, it STILL persists.



The proximity appears to be close to "almost" out of view.

I don't know any other way to measure this.

***Suggestions/Alternative solutions***

Please create another decoration option that has the sound disabled

Yea its FAR too loud.

To measure the proximity I chose a blank hideout like endless sands, placed the doodad towards the bottom. Then placed 11x vaal altars going upper right diag.



Standing at altar 10, sound persists, but low.



Standing at altar 11, sound stops. I think this is the proximity of the doodad and it's sound.

Didnt see this post, made a post requesting the frequency drop, or only activate when you approach, but also lower the default volume.

I think it is activated upon approach but the "approach AOE" seems to be too large, as well as the volume, and the volume doesn't appear to be assigned to anything specific because I had every setting lowered and the sound was based off of distance.

Another thought, in the latest patch notes they finally changed delirium whispers to be an ambient effect instead of sound effect (don't quote me here I just woke up) - so I am hopeful that this is an easy change.

Yeah, right now the "man in the box" is way too loud. I honestly hope GGG addresses this quickly and they lower the volume of this MTX, along with hopefully putting its SFX under the ambient SFX category so we can actually adjust or flat out turn the sounds off.

What is this?!? 😂

This is the new a-sync trade doodad added in the 3.27 supporter packs. Currently its for exchange but will be a-sync once 3.27 launches.

Not usable with those sounds level and no mute option
