Disable menu hover sound

Is there any way to disable or at least lower the volume of the sound played when hovering a UI element?
It annoys me so much that I can't play this game at all, its so obnoxious.

I really dislike loud UIs, IMO a UI should have subtle sounds, if any at all. Although granted the sound fits the Steampunk theme.

But the main thing is the volume, at least to me it feels like its as loud or even louder than the pickaxe when hitting ores. So to get it to a volume thats acceptable for me, I'd have to bring the game sound so far down that I don't really hear anything anymore.
Its not that its repetitive, its actually not that bad to have an audible feedback when hovering Items for example. Its more the combination of it being a pretty "heavy" sound and being very loud.

So for me, reducing the volume would already suffice, but I think I'd need to reduce it's volume by at least 50% but probably 80-90%, maybe with a System Sounds Volume slider?

I have created a task and assigned to our team to add UI volume slider into the settings. So hope you will find it next update. Probably not the Cold fix update that we are currently working on for 1.25. This slider will be most likely added in 1.26.

Sadly for now there is no way to disable it. I can add it as a request for next update. Is it the repetitive clicking that is so annoying? Or the sound it self?
