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.

Retail WoW 8.2

Patch 8.2 broke the way this addon originally worked and so has had to be reworked.
This addon is now installed into the Interface > Addons directory just like any other addon.

Since this change required a complete rework of the addon there are around ~2500 sounds missing from this version that the previous version muted.

You can safely delete the old versions installation folder "Sound" in your World of Warcraft directory.

This version only works on Retail.

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:
