It's just so loud and you can't do anything about it unless you're willing to turn down your volume to the point where you can't hear other FX noises, and that's a problem.

When I build a trap in a creative map, I want to murder the players, not their eardrums. Seriously, there is nothing wrong with the noise the probe makes when it lasers you up, and there is no need to wake up China every time you die.

It's gotten to the point where I won't even play a map that relies heavily on elimination zones. I'm fine with a (quieter) sound effect you can turn on. Just get rid of the noise by default please, we really don't need it.

The reason I ask is because I'd like to create a poisonous swamp (Dank Souls style), but the noise is so jarring that I don't want to use it at all.

Agreed it's crazy loud. At a minimum we'll get it decreased in volume, eventually we'll add the option. We'll add it to the bug list.
