Unhappy Annoying "Tink Tink" sound...

So I love Carbonite. I finally threw away my Questhelper cuz it pretty much sucks. Carbonite is amazing. My one and only complaint,which has forced me to stop using it, is this little "tink" sound that plays randomly, about 20 times per minute.

What is this and how do I turn it off? I'd love to keep playing WoW with Carbonite, but the sound is just too annoying to justify it.

I checked my headphones,
I checked my soundcard driver

The only 'tink' sound I know of in Carbonite (you're sure its Carbonite, BTW?) is the sound that plays when you arrive at a waypoint. Are you farming nodes or something when this happens?

I hear no annoying sounds pr minute.
Perhaps trying to switch of options labeled as being related to sound might help.

Perhaps its the "punks" thing, which for some reason always seems to be switched on - doesn't it to a tink when an enemy is near bay.

I'm not sure what you are hearing. Reaching a target makes a small sound, which can be switched off in the next version. "Play alert sound on match" in the Social & Punks options page is on by default.

You can turn that off in the options of Bugsack.

My wife and I found this as well. What we found was that Carbonite adds a couple of special chat channels, and if you use something like Chat Sounds you may hear a sound everytime Carbonite sends/received data on these channels. Had to disable the "Custom" channels sound in Chat Sounds.

Kind of a bummer, because those aren't the only custom channels we have, but given that Carbonite seems to need them to get something done we opted to disable the Chat sounds instead of Carbonite.

It was a close thing with my wife however, as a Guild master and part of a very large Alliance she wasn't very happy with having to turn that option off and potentially miss alliance messages.

Amazing you can stand getting pings every time someone posts to a channel - I would imagine it was one long sound *G*

But, talk to the people who make 'Chat Sounds' - ask them to add a feature to remove sounds from channels of choice

Several addons other than Carbonite use custom chat channels to send data. An addon should really have the option to not do a feature to certain chat channels. For example, I would only want whispers and guild making a sound. I would be quickly annoyed if General and Trade messages made sounds.
