Option to turn off 'Spoken word' sounds.

I apologise if this has been requested before, I did have a brief look and couldn't see it in the recent threads.


Since the release of the Plague and subsequently Ash, DBD broke it's lore/rule that no character speaks.

I really liked the feature of no spoken word. It created a dark, lonely atmosphere.

With the addition of spoken word on certain characters, for me at times it feels comedic (Ash's witty quips) or even cringeworthy (Plague speaking in tongues). In my opinion, this severely detracts from the game's horror feel.


Please could we have the option to turn off the spoken word sounds from the game?

    Does anybody care to agree/disagree with this idea?

    Nope, I'm alt-tabbed 90% of time during lobbies, so I dont care if someone talks there.

    Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe Ash also talks when he's picked up sometimes?

    In any case, it's a question of in-game atmosphere.

    Personally, I've always found the plague's chant sound pretty annoying.

    I wouldn't use an option likes this but i'm not against people having the choice to turn it oFF.

    Actually it's been stated killers CAN talk, they just chose not to (exceptions being someone like the Doctor who deliberately laughs [voluntary use of vocal cords for something other then grunts of pain] whenever shocking someone or the Plague who actually chooses to talk [though we can't understand her]).

    And Ash... Is well... He's Ash. He doesn't care if he shouldn't be able to talk. He's jaded as all hell from this kind of thing.

    Edit:

    As for what I think, eh, it'd be in character for both to speak, at least in Ash's case, so I would disagree.
