Ok Seriously. The wind blowing "sound effect" when you're not queued up is stupid as hell.

It needs to have a specific mute option in the client. The queue pop sound is useful, as is the message sound.

BUT THAT WIND BLOWING SHIT IS SUPER FUCKING DUMB. And it can glitch out and play even when you're not in the queue screen. That's completely unacceptable.

It's the annoying sounds that play during this screen: http://puu.sh/yrtLP/01ca1e7fee.jpg

before you hit the Find Match button.

It's treated as a sound effect so you can't normally disable it without disabling the queue pop sound.

It's to remind you of how alone you are solo queue'ing league K A P P A

Completely agreed. It's just embarrassing for Riot. Can't have the useful noises without the ambient noises chilling up your whole desktop experience.

It is just a friendly reminder to ban a certain wind-related individual when you enter the lobby /s

Had it glitch out and play during games. It's dumb.

frequently it won't even stop when you're already IN THE GAME...

and also you can' mute it alone, just with all sounds together - like "match found" sonud or champion select time sound lol [sg-miss-fortune]

I hate every sound in the queue in general. Except for the queue pop for obvious reasons.

I can sometimes hear it in game too

Should be able to mute ambient sounds but keep sound on for things like game invites and rewards.

Literally all riot needs to do to fix this is add an ambient volume slider and swap that noise over to that knob. Would take few hours work to get it done I think, 1 or 2 staff at most.

I don't know why this hasn't been addressed. Started keeping my client muted because of it.

I am pretty sure the thing that you are talking about is a bug and not a design choice by Riot.
