    This game is unbarable if you suffer from Tinnitus

    I really enjoy this game since I got it today morning HOWEVER I have chronic Tinnitus in my ears that is constant, and the "pain" high pitch sound effect whenever you land or break is just torture to my ears. I would appreciate an option to turn this off without turning the whole sound effect of the game completely as well.

    Hey,

    Sorry to hear that.

    I've moved your topic to general discussion for more visibility.

    Even without tinnitus it is pretty excruciating after extended play sessions, especially when you're attempting really difficult runs that are going to have you crashing every few seconds while you learn the course... or if you're on the last sliver of bearable Gs during a race, meaning the ringing just doesn't stop. An option to mute that sound effect would be highly appreciated because otherwise the game's audio is superb and a large part of the experience (so fully muting it isn't ideal).

    Yeah I have to agree. Having the option to turn off the tinnitus effect would be much appreciated. I can't stress this enough.

    Thanks for joining in with this thread, BreddGar and Arainbadami - I understand you've both found some of the sound effects used in this game to be unpleasant and irritate your ears. I'd really like to fully report this feedback on to our teams to look into further internally.

    Can you give me some more specific examples of which sound effects you've noticed this with? If possible, it'd be useful to have some videos showing the sound effects, and if you let me know which platform you have been playing on, I can share some guidance on how best to take and upload video clips to share with us.

    Let me know if you've any questions about the above request, and thanks again for this report

    I really appreciated this piece. I often think of how much of a time suck and a mental drain diving into comment conversations can be. But sometimes it is worth it. At the end of the day, it's important to assert oneself and to attempt to have discussions about what matters to you.
