CHIRP. CHIRP. CHIRP. CHIRP. CHIRP. CHIRP. CHIRP. CHIRP. CHIRP. CHIRP.

Okay... Maybe it's just me...

The BIRDS chirping CONSTANTLY - day AND night - is getting to me.

I mean, it's REALLY getting to me.

I can't turn the volume down because I can't hear the music - yes, I actually ENJOY the in-game jazz (don't judge meeee!!!).

Does the constant chirping and twittering of the birds bother anyone else? I mean, I can understand during the day...

BUT AT NIGHT, TOO? Come ON, man.

PLEASE help me. :)

I hadn't really noticed the birds to be honest.

no the sound effect irritates me most is the woman who says settle down every few minutes then you hear what appears to be a lawn mower both need to be removed

Im used to the birds as I live in the Mountains but at night it's annoying and the beeping from self checkout is absurd

Really?!

Now, I will admit that when I'm SUPER focused, I don't notice them as much. Like, when I'm in the business zone, I'm cool. But when I pull out my focus...THERE THEY ARE, chirping away while the streetlights are on.

t's kinda strange.

I'm trying to find a balance between the main audio and the music so that I won't hear them as much. :D

I know there are birds that do chirp at different times and I think I would love that - out in the mountains with DIFFERENT birds calling at DIFFERENT times of day and night. THAT would be absolutely WONDERFUL...

But these 3 seemingly identical birds talking to each other outside my market 24/7/365...? I wanna toss my laptop across the room after a while. And they don't even take a period to warm up in the morning. THEY ARE JUST ON ONE from 8 AM onward.

What are they talking about? What's the TEA - because they talk ALL DAY LONG. :P Let a sister IN on what's UP in the neighborhood since I gotta hear y'all ALL THE TIME! Shoot, I'm nosy, too, then!

The beeps, now I love those. To me, they are the heartbeat of the store - the lifeblood of commerce - monitoring the money flowing in and out of my little market, making it live and breathe and thrive and expand and grow!

Needless to say, I love business.

The digital birds, however, I do not. They need to clock OUT. I would PAY a daily fee to have them SILENT.

See? I haven't even heard a person over the BIRDS and CARS all the time. I'm afraid that once I pick out her voice, I won't be able to NOT hear her, and then it'll be birds, cars AND her ALL AT ONCE.

I can't figure out if I'm hearing lawnmowers, too, now. Or do the cars SOUND like mowers? I'm confused. At this point, just take out all the noise and just give us in-store sounds and let us connect our music players to our Spotify accounts.

ANYTHING BUT BIRDS AND CARS AND LAWNMOWERS (and some random lady telling people to settle down). In fact, lemme hear her tell me to settle down about these birds...

In the words of Caseoh... "Yeah, you're banned." XD

i AGREE! I do hope there will be an option to turn those off! (Or, like you said, at least have the birds give us the TEA like they do at my house! My peacock tells us when cars come up the road, the guinea fowl tell us about snakes and tarantulas and the owls tell us where the coyotes are!)

NOW THOSE ARE THE KINDS OF BIRDS WE NEED!

Let us know when we have shoplifters or something, since they are gonna add those to the game. Let them aid the security guards. They posted on the block DAY IN AND DAY OUT.

They need to be on payroll. Shoot, do something besides get on my nerves. I vote for your birds to give classes on observe and report. Be useful. They could start a whole neighborhood watch team since we're gonna have a huge city and make deliveries. We'll need security detail. :P

Hey thats a really good idea actually! I vote for birds being the security guards of the game!!!

When did they add the sound of birds?

[XR6FA]

Is that all you have too worry about

They've been in the game since I've been playing. Don't know when they were added.

Is this a serious question?

[LadyWraith]

I just finally broke down and bought the speaker, and I can't hear the music to pick a song. The birds needs to be dealt with.

You have to turn it on via the computer! Each time too!
