annoying beep

[xepty]

please tell me how to turn off that most annoying beep/sonar, so i could play this game without muting everything. i couldn't find anything on the net and here.

That was apart of the show and it will be apart of the game. Guess you'll have to continue muting everything cause there's no way to turn it off unless you do turn the volume down.

is quote apart, because in the show it was a part, a very, very small part, because i don't recall this beeing on and on during the whole episode. yes, the engines were, and at a very low volume, but this beep... no, not really. and i gather there is no obvious way of getting this to stop, but maybe something hidden, a trick, a fix, something. anywhay, thanks for trying.

Some people are in love with those noises. You can get 8+ hour, even 10+ hour versions on Youtube:

There is also an officially licensed Star Trek white noise machine, I think ThinkGeek stock it.

you ever watched an episode? a full episode? please tell me how many times you've heard that beep in a real episode, all 40 minutes of it, and at that volume. i bet is was not 600 times, like in this game. this is what i'm talking about. but enough talking about this. if you don't get it, is ok. i'm still waiting for an option to get rid of that. i know there are slim chances, but, hey, i can try. the fact that this goes to desktop version, makes me think there are devs around who might care. but then again, it might be just a profit thing. thanks anyway.

The offender might be one of these:

I bet if the entire episode took place on the bridge you'd hear it.

[Brigandine]

You can hear the 'sonar ping' over the sounds of people talking/AI chattering. Torpedoes and phasers crashing against the shield and striking the hull, the sounds of the engines at various levels of power, impulsing, warping, red alert, consoles exploding, fires crackling and every other chaotic thing going on in virtually every mission?

I'm envious of your laser-like focus on nominal background audio.

Thanks, but it wasn't that easy. There might be a similar file, but encoded.
But, yes, the sound might be one of those, and is for sure is in main.bnk

[Cryptonitor]

Any luck finding a way to turn off that infernal beeping?

[Cryptonitor]

Think I found the solution, but still havent managed to get it to work. Extract soundfiles from MUSIC.BNK, remove that ♥♥♥♥♥♥ bleep noice and repack. Should work

[Cryptonitor]

Been trying for hours to unpack the BNK-file that contains the sounds so I can delete that beeep, but the .WEMS files wont repack or convert to OGG. Tried deleting a few lines from the .XML that lists the sounds, but that either did nothing or made all sounds disappear.

[xepty]

one year later and i still can't even try to enjoy this game, because without any sound is dull, and with sound i still have that annoying beep in the backgroud. so sad.
