Nuclear Goal Explosion Problem/Concern

[JoshTGW]

This is a concern about a recent goal explosion that has a sound that's far from desirable and also concerns what the sound effects of future designs will be. The Nuclear Goal Explosion raises some red flags because the sound it makes it equivalent to the aftermath of a genuine explosion in real life when the ears of the victims/witnesses within the range of the explosion's sound waves cause their ears to start ringing. This sound is horrible to hear and for me who wears headphones while gaming on a relatively low volume, this is an issue, not just for this goal explosion but for future designs if ear-numbing sounds are added. This sound genuinely hurts my ears and is sharp on my eardrums.

After hearing my concern, whether or not see this, please change the sound of the goal explosion. This sound is sharp, painful to the ear, and overall headache inducing.

Mute game audio. It's a rare occurrence, the game cannot cater to every need of every player at more than 50M individual players.

dont need sound to play rl anyway

Well, I appreciate your responses, but muting my audio is strictly not an option for me. The audio helps my awareness of whether or not someone it trying to tackle/demolish me or if the ball is near when my camera is not facing behind me or the ball itself.

Also, on Reddit, I was recommended a solution in which I just removed the goal explosion's visuals and sounds from my game files so I don't have to see its flash or the hear the painful sound effect.

Goal Explosions are part of the stadium or extra sounds. You can just turn those of and lose no awareness in the actual game.

The sound effect is great. I think you're just imagining any pain. I suggest you put up with it.

No I'm not sadly.... It's literally the equivalent of your ears ringing after an actual explosion close up. Just after the explosion went off two times, it gave me a bit of a headache.

Also no thanks, I will not be putting up with that or I refuse to play the game and that's why I went into the game files and removed the animations and sound effects for it.

Here's the name of the files for anyone else who doesn't care to see or hear it.

You'll find both of these in there!:
