Tone down the hive scream!

Please.

All that I ask is the title. I'm tired of being ear raped by the hive screaming every time a single pistol shot taps it. Reduce its volume dramatically, please. Or at the very least reduce the frequency it occurs at, since a hive under attack will just make you want to stab a spoon through your ear drum. It's to the point that you can't hear half the people on voice chat, any time it's busy penetrating your brain.

EDIT: The issues I have with volume mainly come as a commander.

    I think you can tone the "General" noise down without affecting voice chat in the options. I've experienced Alien teams whose first reason to save a Hive under attack was to stop the nasty screeches :D

    the general sound is tied to the voice volume slider

    Personally I love the scream. I wish marine command centers made an obvious indication they were under attack.

    I like it, too. Its bone-shattering - but thats how it should be. It is a part of the athmosphere, it is scary and it should stay that way. My 2 cents on that

    I'm adding my voice to the I like it sound. It's dramatic, but in a good way.

    I rather enjoy the scream, as well. It puts you on edge. That's good.

    Make it so it starts screaming louder the more damaged it gets.A random hit from pistol from a lone marine should not trigger this scream,when on full health damaged hive should sound more like an angry animal growling.

    On the other side MAKE COMMAND CENTER BEEING ATTACKED MORE OBVIOUS!Its hard to know that its getting destroyed when I play as commander,what do you want from regular marine?All aliens on the map instantly know they are getting harassed at the base...Marines dont.Its not extremely gamebreaking - but extremely annoying.

    I want Peter Griffin to voice when the command chair is under attack. "Holy crap! The command chair is gettin' humped!"

    How about if the cc is attacked you hear that battle station siren sound from star trek?

    I'm not asking for a removal, just toning it down in volume.

    A lot. At the very least for commanders, who will hear it at max volume all the time.

    It's not scary when you're a commander having it pierce your ear drums. :( Especially if you're trying to direct/talk to your team.

    As above, I like it, I'd just like to tone it down somewhat. Again, at the very least for commanders. I should have clarified that in the original post, that my issue with it mainly comes as a commander.

    I don't see why there shouldn't be an option to turn it down.
