i didnt do a search so i dont know if this was discussed before.
it would be really nice if the viewer had an added feature within to identify & mute the offending sound spam (like the active speakers window).
you might be confused about what i am talking about, ill explain.
many users upload a sound file and map that sound file as a gesture with no animation.
many users edit that sound file before upload with the means of editing software, making it extremely loud and distorted, often than not, its looped continously with the means to annoy a great deal of avatars.
i have found no other way short of turning the volume down very low to completely muting the sound to eliminate this, which ruins most functions in game like voice chat.
music, media, sounds & ambient controls, doppler, distance & rolloff controls do nothing short of making the rolloff so short that any sound is useless.
what the real gripe here is that i cannot identify who the culprit is and neither can the land/sim owner.
out of all the problems and complaints i have about the viewer, server and LL in general, i would say this one is tops on my list.
not that anyone from LL would read this, but in the slight case that someone does.......

please, give us the ability to IDENTIFY & MUTE the offender.
thank you
