Was the high pitched ringing sound really necessary, especially for that long each time? That almost physically hurt and it scared the fsck out of my cat.

@BorgDrone @ValueSubtracted As a person with tinnitus, it seemed important to me. Let me know exactly what was going on. It's also very common in video games, for example when someone is dazed by a nearby explosion. Again it conveyed a lot of meaning to me and helped explain what they were going through.

Sure, but there is a difference between having that sound at low volume for 2 seconds and blasting it through all 10 speakers for 20.

Ooh, look at this guy with ten speakers! Fancy pants over here! : P

It seemed a perfectly harmless and appropriate volume to me listening on headphones. Perhaps your bass needs adjustment.

It’s not the bass that was the problem, it was the high pitched sounds.

As someone with tinnitus, it not only hurt, but triggered my tinnitus to be worse for the rest of the day.

Far from harmless. I had a proper issue with the excessive ringing in this episode.

Well that definitely sucks. Sorry you had to deal with that.
