About this addon

What it does

Classic WoW

Since the release of TBC the new MuteSoundFile API was added to the classic client, the retail version now works for both versions.

Custom sounds mutes:.

If you want to mute sounds that aren't already included in the addon I've created a small tool to help you do so using sound ids found on wowhead.

 

To clarify, this is NOT needed to make this addon work, this is something extra and entirely optional for those who'd like to mute sounds not already muted.

The download and instructions for using it can be found here:
