Jetpack sounds too similar to skulks

Toumal

Is it just me or do the jetpacks sound a wee bit like a skulk attacking? I often flinch and turn at a nearby jetpacking (is that even a word? Who cares, I'll make it one!) marine, thinking it's a skulk that has been croaching up on me.

So yeah, thoughts? Am I just paranoid or am I not alone?

Yeah, I also always thought the building tool sounds like faint skulk footsteps. I often think I hear incoming skulks when building rts etc.

You're not alone!

Heh, I know what you mean, the noise that sounds like... I dunno... it doesn't sound like building, it sounds rather highly inappropriate ;) It's frequency is higher than the usual skulk walk though so I can actually discern the two quite easily now - but the jetpack sounds like a faint skulk bite to me.

Either way, both sounds could do with a bit of a change. The build tool too could just sound... techier, and less... bubbly.

If you listen closely to the builder tool, you can hear a MAC saying "weld me.. weld me.. weld me.."
