Option to turn OFF overbearing music

[RIP Chicken]

Please give us the option to turn off or at the very least turn down the music. I don't know how many times I've played as the killer, wounded a survivor, lost them, and then had to wait for the loud music to end before I could listen for their grunts. All and all it seems out of place when so much of this game relies on sound and the music just drowns so much of it out.

They'll say it's apart of the game.

I thought the same thing writing this out but nevertheless I wanted to. I'm speaking not only from a killers standpoint but also survivor there's plenty of times where I'd wished that the music would just stop especially when I wasn't even being chased.

That music is meant to do exacly that, make the killer loose the survivors in a chase if they get out of sight. You would be able to get every survivor 100% everytime if there wouldnt be the music. So no, dont remove or turn it down, its a perfect part of the game.

I'm in for the option to stop the music, this a game where ambient sounds are very important and most of the times music brake the hearing/immersion.

No, the game is balanced around certain factors you can't change. You can't manipulate the sound for the same reason you can't turn off environmental doodads (like grass). It gives you an unintended advantage.

people's are asking for an OPTION not to remove music from the game for all. I think this the best , to give a choice.

you need the music but it does not need to be so loud!!! if the music starts playing then just muffle or lower the volume all round when it ends go back to normal volume... this game is going to give so many people hearing loss. same goes for the chainsaw.

You can turn down the volume. The music is supposed to have a fixed volume relative to game sounds.

That's exactly what Iron Will is for isn't it? So that the killer can't hear their grunts. So if there's already a perk in the game meant for that reason why would they delegate that to the music?? It doesn't make sense. Tbh with how many options are missing from this game I just can't believe it's because it's intended.

It's in the settings! On a easy to use bar that you can pull left and right! How are devs supposed to know what settings your computer sound settings are on?

and he is saying that "option" would allow you to catch 100% of the time...that the music itself is a game mechanic used to help survivors escape and provide a balanced experience.

if I have an OPTION that lets me win everytime no matter what...how much you want to be I will take that option everytime?

Thanks devs for no option to change music volume.
They definitely know what they are doing.

This is for emotion, not for gameplay.

It's not even meant for JUST the killers benefit it's meant for both. Both the killers and survivors could benefit from no music. There's so many ambients sounds that both sides give off from the survivors breathing to the trapper placing traps. So much of it is drowned out by needless music.

again, even if both sides may benefit, it removes an existing mechanic which fundamentally alters balance and causes many new problems to arise.

simply put, it is far more hazard than reward.
