Quantum phase torps sound different

Anyone else noticed that the Quantum Phase torpedoes sound different now? Personally I hope this is a bug because I really dont care for the new noise they make. Did they change any other torp FX

    The only change made to the Quantum Phase torpedoes this patch was a fix to make their Torpedo Spread sound sound like the other firing modes for that torpedo - previously, they were using the standard quantum torpedo spread sound. The Set Torpedoes from the Terran and Iconian Reputation, the Kelvin Photon Torpedoes, and the Resonant Transphasic Torpedo received the same fix in this patch.

    You and me both. What the hell Cryptic. Don't fix what don't need fixing when there's so much that actually needs fixing.

    I'm sure they have plans to fix other things, but consider that this was probably an easy fix that they could put out. Every little bit helps, and frankly, this shows that they are working even on little things. Personally I don't mind them fixing the little things. Bigger things take time, and I'd rather not have little things stack up while waiting for the big things. Just think of it as one less thing to worry about later on down the road.

    ^^ Which is precisely what I notied: Quantum torp now sounds like a transphasic. Please, change it back.

    P.S. Quantum seems to have the visuals of Transphasic (on spread) now too, it seems.

    The base sound changed as well. Now it no longer sounds like a Quantum.

    Also, I noticed that while the Kelvin photon torp effects of torpedo spread have been upgraded and it's good not to hear the normal photon TS sound, it's still not really the sound we hear in the movies, either for the TS version or the normal version. Is there any reason?

    I noticed the new sound and thought it was off and personally don't like this change. Nothing was wrong with the previous sound. So why fix what wasn't broken ?

    Who listens to sounds in this game? The only time I put on my earphones is when there is a new Mission and I'd like to hear it through.

    'Firefly' had it right. There is no noise in Space.

    In fact, we should stop the white-out of the screen in atmospheres as well. Four-hundred years in the future white-sound and 'white-visual' technology should be well advanced to compensate for all this racket and visual contamination.

    JJ Trek The Kelvin Timeline is just Trek and it's fully canon... get over it. But I still prefer TAR.

    Noticed and it sounds Terrible.
    As if the super mega nerf on them was bad enough this is just insulting.

    Yeah. It sounds all oddly squishy. Kinda like a Transphasic. And has the visuals of the Resonant Transphasic Torpedo Launcher too, for that matter. Please, revert this change. I want the 'rock-hard' sound of the Quantum back!
