Do traps still do insane amounts of noise?

I played hexblast sometime ago and I stopped due to the constant beep beep beep beep sound when walking because I do enjoy the general sounds of the game so I dont enjoy playing without it, has that been sorted or is it still a chin chin chin chin?

Yes, if you think that sound is bad, find a wardloop video where the sound is on and you'll hear true pain. I had to disable all skill sounds when I played that build

If you have headphones with a decent bass, it's possible to lower the volume of sound effects while increasing the master volume to a point where the ambience, music and (albeit lowered) explosions from hexblast 'drowns out' the constant ticking.

I was going crazy myself, but after tinkering around with it 3-4 times I managed to find a tolerable medium where I eventually forgot about it, but could still clearly hear all other sound effects.
