Have the characters always laughed?

[JoshSmash]

I am just noticing the new giggle/laugh thing they do and it is really irritating. I went into the options and turned down the vocals and it didn't stop the laughing. Can we get an option to turn it off?

It appears that the laughter didn't got affected by the vocals' voulme, it's probably a bug...
They laughed since v0.2.4 (the previous build) and it happens pretty frequently when someone was killed by a train in the Subway stage (basically they laugh when other characters get killed or K.O.'d, in this version your character can also seem to laugh at himself if he gets hurf on his own by bashing his head on the floor), they can also produce others sounds such as "Uh-oh..." or emit other "worried moanings" when a cable breaks in stages like Gondola or Containers (in this version they also tend to react to the the truck bumping on the road, wich is pretty cool actually), a nonsensical "Noi-noi!" after defeating an enemy, scream when they fall to their death (or emit other weird sounds if they die in a death wich doesn't involve falling, such sounds range from "Aka-baka-baka!" to "MEH!!" and others...).
Also each of the 8 player-controlled characters has his own voice (and personality, some of them laugh histerically while others just jiggle a bit; also some scream like crazy maniacs during their death while others are a little bitmore quiet), the A.I.s and Mini-Bosses have theirown voices too (with the Mini-Boss guy having a deeper voice than normal-sized characters) but they are completely silent in v0.2.5, the reason for this is unknow... (the devs are probably working on different voices for them...)

The "vocals" volume setting not reducing the voice set sample level is a bug, we are working on a fix for the next bug fixes patch, which should be released soon. The voice set for the large spawnable AI was temporarily removed to fix an issue that stopped AI waves from working as expected, the voice set will be restored in a coming build.

Thanks!

Will it be possible to turn of all the laughs and still have sounds when hitting someone in the final release of the game? Its very annoying with the weird giggling and its also gets empty if you turn it off so you cant hear when you hit someone.

There are individual volume controls for the characters vocal, user interface SFX, physics collisions, ambiance, and music, lowering the vocals volume setting to 0% should mute the character voices. Please comment if the voice controls are not working on your system configuration.

I meant if it was possible to turn off giggles only, and still have sounds when players got hit like " ouch", " aah".

Yeah.. it would be nice to just turn off the minion-like giggles.
