Launcher Background Noise

Anybody else get terrible headaches from all the background 'wooshy' noises the launcher makes? The background noise after hitting the accept button for queue, in particular, is exceptionally headache inducing.

What's with all the noise? Can't we just have a nice quiet launcher that sits in the background and only makes notification sounds when queues hit?

It could just be me though. Posting to find out.

No headache here, but upvoted because sound is too "hyped".

The options menu (in Client > Sounds) has an overall "Enable Sound" option, which handles all sounds the client makes. Within that, there's "Enable SFX," which includes "Play Ambient Sounds" (like a slight breeze that continues at all times including during games and didn't originally have an option to disable but now it does), "Play Pick Quotes," and "Play Ban Quotes." Individual sound effects like accepting a queue would be part of "Enable SFX," so if you wanted to disable that sound, it would take with it ambient noise, voice lines (within the client, not the game itself), and all the other little noises the client can make.
