Is there a way to turn the bird sounds off?

[greffirs]

Is there a way to turn the bird sounds off? I really like the water and wind sounds, but find the bird sounds (both day and night) disruptive during meditation. They're just too loud and occur too frequently for me. I know the Emptiness view allows turning all sounds off while meditating, but I still want to hear the other environmental sounds. Thanks for any help.

@greffirs, I'm afraid not. There is no way to turn off the sound of the birds specifically :( - I will be balancing and refining the ambiance for the next build to make it all more seamless.

Thank you for the response!

I have found that Master volume seems to affect everything except the background sounds while meditating eg stream, owls, fire, ocean waves etc. They also seem unaffected by individual volume toggles, so there is no way to make them quiet enough. Perhaps it is just me tho. I will try a few more tests over the next few days.

Today's Weather Time Patch effectively resolved this issue. The birds sounds are much less intrusive. This update is much appreciated! Thank you!

Something I've found strange is I've put all the audio sliders to 0 since I prefer silence, but Playne doesn't recognize I've done that and all the sounds are active, so I've been muting the sound card before meditating.

Hey there, been really enjoying the game and just got to the RV(again) level and gotta say the ambience is very nice, except for how loud the birds specifically are. Had a lot of stimulus today so this game is a nice reprieve but the birds come in on the headphones like a kid with their first recorder. If there is any way to lower or option to mute them I would love to know. Otherwise amazing game and has been a wonderful playthrough.
