Any way to mute ducks and owls?

Any way to mute ducks and owls? And I mean only those 2 creatures. Rest is fine.

I agree owls are annoying as heck no matter how many you get rid of 100 more are ready to take it's place.....

On the plus side they sell for a bit so early source of money i guess.

Just figured this out last night. There's a long and annoying process you COULD do of getting a program to open, edit and repack .wav files as .xnb etc etc.......
OR you can do what I did.

Open your terraria folder in steamapps>common, open the content and finally the sounds folder.

Copy "Unlock.xnb" to a separate folder to work with. This is the smallest, quietest and least obnoxious sound in the game. a tiny click for when you unlock a chest with a key.

Next, navigate to your "Zombie_(#'s).xnb" files and rename #'s 10, 11 and 12 for ducks and 110, 111, 112, 113, 114 for Owls. I just added a few extra capital Z's to the beginning so they go to the end of the folder for ease of finding later if needed for whatever reason. This includes the human voice sounds for those animals as well.

Next, rename the extra Unlock.xnb file to one of the file names that you changed and copy it back into the folder. Do this for all files you changed.

You'll never hear one of those obnoxious things again :)

Reminder that very big towns tend to attract lot of critters, includding owls. So maybe spread some towns in the whole world?

I recommend doing it for splash 0 and 1 also, SO much less annoying when something gets caught going in and out of one block of water ^_^
