Ok, poeple, let's vote... what is your voice/pitch?

[Broccoli Clock]

It's one of the first things the player chooses, so what is your choice?

For me, high alto-flute, because I like it to be as inoffensive and minimal as possible.

 

[Kleave]

Accordion because it gives me sea shanty vibes and medium because it doesn't distort the sound of the instrument too much!

[LadyWYT]

For me it really depends on what kind of character I want to play for that world. Higher pitches and instruments for female characters, lower pitches and more bass for males.

[Never Jhonsen]

Alto Flute, low
Been what I've used since. .. was it 1.14 or 1.15 when the creation menu was added?

Anyways, despite what posts have said on this forum, I love the voices in the game Little beeps and bops

. .. much better than the ole "HUR!" sound we used to have

some of these voices legitimately jumpscare me when I take damage.

Word. Also traders when they suddenly speak while idling.

I always use medium accordion. It just sounds... good. Also, did they get the whole instruments for lungs idea from Don't Starve?

Welcome to the forums! I suppose it's possible, but the whole "instrument = voice" idea has been around for ages. Banjo-Kazooie is a notable example, as is Animal Crossing(I think). The benefit to instruments as vocals is that it conveys character personality, without being mistaken for an actual language. The Sims had this issue, in that EA was apparently getting emails from foreign players asking how to switch the Sim language from English to their native tongue.

Interesting, thanks for the info.

Would love to choose euphonium, but since we don't have that, I went with high-pitched tuba.

Love that word, just rolls off the tongue! I also find it makes me laugh, like a made up word. What was even better was I had a friend who played one, brilliant stuff hearing her discuss her euphonium with me giggling in the corner.

True, I love the sound of both the word and the instrument. It's melancholic, but with some notes of hope in it. Shame it's not as popular as other brass instruments — everyone knows trumpet, sax and tuba, but eupho? Nah. Only those who study music theory

[th3w4rd3n]

very low accordion or harmonica. i like how distorted and freaky they sound when they're that deep and, in my brain lore, seraphs have weird voices compared to humans. i'd love to see more instruments in the future, esp less common ones like a hurdy gurdy, or some string instruments like violin, guitar, or shamisen. mostly because i ALSO want to set them to very low and see how freaky they sound.

[Grummsh]

sexy low sax is the way to go for me always

That's the actual lore as well. Although it's not the seraph voices that humans find strange--it's the accents.

[Teh Pizza Lady]

Low pitch oboe for me

[DatDot1337]

Low Oboe is the only one I've ever used.

[Unknown_Zombie]

I am also a Low Oboe enjoyer.

[NyeteyN]

I don't remember but I usually choose something low pitched. In my first world I accidentally chose something high pitched and every time I got hit I got a heart attack

[Dilan Rona]

Trumpet, medium for me

[Broccoli Clock]

I didn't expect my preference to be the most popular, but equally I didn't expect almost all options to have similar support. Going by the votes, it seems the only thing I can say is that the Trumpet is the least popular type of voice, with the least popular pitch being Very Low.

What to make of this? Not sure, without an out and out clear winner, I suppose it validates the dev's choice of having a non-human like sounding voice, and in turn providing differing pitches. If it was disliked by most then you'd probably find people gravitating towards the "least worst" voice, but as it is, it's a pretty even spread.

[bridgettuttle]

I dont like any voice off all. But how can I turn this off? I wanna hear all around, but the player voice give me headage (Kopfschmerzen). I hope I can turn it off. Only the player voice. Please

[Hanril]

I ran with high oboe thinking only about those moments when I hear it all the time while starving. Worse punishment that hp loss.

For precise control over individual sounds, it seems you can use a mod like Accessibility Tweaks.

In the vanilla game, the closest you'll get is "Settings > Sound > Effects Sound level". It will affect a bunch of other sound effects as well, but may be better than nothing if you can't or don't want to use mods.

Was genau muss ich dann bei diesem Accessibility Tweaks mod ausschalten, damit das Hungergeräusch nicht mehr erscheint?
