horrible cacophony: children should be seen and not heard

The update.... aye... oh my lord. The noise is going to drive me crazy. The sick sound, the whistling. Babies have nothing to do but make faces so guess what they do? Noise all day long. I tried to run to the bell town, to get out of my noisy little village (I threatened them with a knife, but didn't have the heart to kill the kids for being loud, so I left to escape the sounds) I ran to the bell thinking "oh this will be a better place"

But, one of them followed me. Making sound all the way!
She stopped when I asked nicely though, turns out she was my niece and was going to the bell town too! We would find a better place together!

Guess which town was the bell town?? oh my lord of all the places... GUESS. GUESS! It's the one that had the drug epidemic AND a famine! Of course it was noisy as ever there. What was I thinking? I said goodbye to my loud niece and gave her my hat and pants. Then I said goodbye to that noisy world.

They're all new, of course everyone will be trying them out 24/7

Re: horrible cacophony: children should be seen and not heard

I was worried about this...

The ones that make sound are an experiment.

Let's see if it blows over.  If not, I may have to do something about it.

Now we're worried about mouth sounds? Half the sound fx are mouth sounds.

Maybe I just have a high tolerance for that stuff.

Maybe its because my brother spent our entire childhood making weird sounds and I am now immune.

Yeah give it a day and it probably won't be so overwhelming. Everyone including me just wanted to mash em, so we would be ready to use them when the context calls for it in the future.

if it annoys you that bad, mute the game or put it on low volume.

ACTUALLY

I think its great if you're busy, and a child needs food to yoohoo a mother over! If used correctly the sounds are great.


I prefer to call my children after final fantasy characters.

I miss surnames. Remember surnames?

Re: horrible cacophony: children should be seen and not heard

I found the whistling funny. Can rear up my kids "OI GET OVER HERE!" Been giving out whistling liscenses to adults. Kids not allowed

If babies whistling are the problem, just make them unable to untill they are 3 years old or something. Have never seen a whistling baby IRL either, so it wouldnt be too unrealistic.

Re: horrible cacophony: children should be seen and not heard

Agree with the whistle being for adults. It's just one more fun reason to grow up. Gladly the sounds have calmed down. I'm not as frazzled anymore. LOL-- I'm rather sensitive to goofy little repeating sounds. I enjoy most of the sounds in the game especially the flattening of the dough.

Re: horrible cacophony: children should be seen and not heard

Haven't played yet with the update, but I sense there might be an opportunity for something like the YooHoo whistle (or some other future sound) to only be heard by one's mother or direct descendants, or "friends/partners" (as determined by some future handshake or pairing up mechanic), maybe even with a dismissible direction arrow that very briefly overrides the home marker. Migrations, raids, Eve runs, hunting/iron expeditions, etc. could be much more interesting.

Re: horrible cacophony: children should be seen and not heard

I'm not a fan of the new sounds.   Too easy for annoying people to spam them to bother everyone around them.

We had a guy in our village once who kept touching a penguin that was trapped on a tiny tundra biome.   He kept touching it and touching it.   Wouldn't leave that poor penguin alone.   Spent his whole life just messing with that penguin and making it honk over and over.

Eventually he got killed by one of the many people he pissed off by being a penguin molester.   And the silence was so beautiful.

I foresee many whistle-related murders in the future.
