I feel you man. I think itâs a âbugâ. You can always disable the sound of the editor application itself from the OS. I assume youâre using Windows, go to the âSound Mixerâ in your system tray and turn down the volume of the Editor application.
Holy Eardrums!
This sound must sound COMPLETELY different in some headphones than others. I feel like a Pavlov experimentee, I now associate recompiling c++ failures with mere mildy disappointing build break, but successes with excruciating ear splitting pain.
FIX:
In the Unreal Editorâs content browser, under View Options (lower right), make sure you have âShow Engine Contentâ checked.
Navigate to /Engine Content/EditorSounds/Notifications.
Right Click âCompileSuccessâ.
Select âReimport With New Fileâ
Select any wav file that doesnât burst your eardrums.
If you donât have a .wav file handy, on Windows try something like: âC:\Windows\Media\Windows Feed Discovered.wavâ
I dunno which is harder to believe, replying with a fix to a thread thatâs 5 years old, or having PTSD from successful compilations. My ears STILL hurt.
