the new "ability is not ready yet" sound

For some reason, riot made the sound that plays when you try to cast an ability but cant a lot louder this patch, and you can't turn it off without turning off all sound effects. As a zac main, spamming the w key makes it a lot easier and faster to clear the jungle than checking how long until i can cast the spell again, and many other champions have a similar spell on their kit. I'd rather not have a huge headache every time i'm playing one of these champions, so is there any way we could disable that sound, or could it be put back to where it was before? disabling all sounds doesn't seem like a good option, it helps warn me when an ability is being cast.

It's turned way down for the upcoming patch - thanks for hanging in there while we're ironing out SFX for the new HUD.

yeah ive noticed this as well, its really annoying when im playing certian champions as well i hope they make a slider to adjust the volume or a button to enable/disable it. the chimes when i click the shop or press tab are really annoying as well

Hello Riot Eno,

I noticed you last posted 22 days ago. Did you guys resolve this issue? The sound is still extremely loud and pretty much mind numbing on champions like evelynn, where you need to spam in team fights in order to maximize dps. Is there any other option then playing with no sound?

Bump. This is extremely annoying when playing Evelynn. And as was said, many others. It seems like a simple fix to give us the option to remove or lower the sound, so what's the hold up? As a side note I think the best fix for this problem could be to put an on/off button next to where you can choose quick cast for certain abilities and not others. So for instance, with Evelynn i could just take the "ability not ready yet" sound off on jusy her "q". I'm bumping this every few weeks until we have the option to adjust it.
