Feature Request: Footsteps volume slider or mute button

Yeah I know this is a weird request but I personally find the footstep noises distracting but then I do in any game. I am having to play the game with reduced volume and I really wish I didn't have to so I was wondering if there could be a toggle or hell even a cosmetic that would silence the footstep sounds in PoE 2

Other than that having a fantastic time in PoE 2. Sadly I could never get into PoE 1 but I am having a blast trying out different builds and classes etc in PoE2. Currently maining a necro witch :D

I agree with this post, and it's not a strange request, because I would also like to see a button to increase or decrease the footstep volume, and a button to toggle the character's footsteps on or off. When a character is running in a quiet scene, when there is no combat or monsters in the scene, the footsteps sound very loud, like a beating heart, which is very annoying to me as well.
😣

Also agree, they do seem to sound super loud for some reason. Only odd complaint I have so far :)

Where’s the thumbs up on these forums? Consider this the thumbs up lol. Agreed.

Footsteps are obnoxiously loud. Only thing I found that sort of helps is turning off the reverb, but I bet that lowers the quality of other sounds so I’ve left it on and hope they add audio options for footsteps.

Especially when you’re in town organizing your stash and whatnot and you hear people running around or when it’s quiet.

I don't have a comment about the footsteps but a CTRL+S shortcut to mute sound and CTRL+M to mute music would be a good QoL. Diablo 2 had that since day 1.

I was thinking maybe they could even just add it to the ambient sounds slider

Thanks for the support for my request guys and gals <3

Merry Christmas!!

Jumping in to add my two cents in favour of this feature too! The footsteps by default are already noticeably loud but if you get the unique boots that leave patches of electrified ground after stepping, your footsteps get even louder lol.

Yeah it sucks, just got to hope they add a slider or add footsteps to ambient slider at this point
