This is a pretty conclusive thread. The answers have only been; a) I hear it and don't like it b) I don't hear it and am indifferent (and we've yet to see a video to prove this it's less obvious with different setups) c) I hear it and am indifferent
Nobody has answered; d) I hear it and I love it
The obvious answer is to remove it entirely. Nobody is getting anything from it and it contradicts earlier design goals.
Quiet my ######ing arse, this thread will have me ######ing around with sound settings changing setup from headphone to 2.1 or 7.1 because if I can get rid of that stupid wind tunnel noise it'll be a great improvement.
I honestly thought my sound files were ######ed and steam consistency checked/re-installed NS2/%app data% deleted when it became really pronounced about 4-5 patches ago, I thought ambient noises were just looping endlessly into some never ending "Whoooossshshhhhhshshh", my ######ing face when I find out this was another intended 'feature' and 'immersion'.
Faster foot steps are immersion and cool sounding, hearing 2-3 skulks scurrying around while I'm trying to get my now ######ty low atmos flashlight onto them on the roof and HEARING them move faster is ######ing great.
Wind tunnel and blur are ######ing bull###### and you need your head checked if you think it adds to the game at all, we're reaching the point of having 3-4 different aural/visual effects just to tell me I'm going fast, guess how else I know I'm going fast, I'm playing the ######ing game and clicked evolve celerity, I know this BECAUSE I AM PLAYING THE GAME I DON'T NEED THREE EFFECTS FOR FEEDBACK FOR SOMETHING I MANUALLY CHANGE I KNOW THIS IT IS KNOWN FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU.
edit: Hearing regen tick over or cloak quickly"whaaaaaa" on and off is great, knowing these are silent with silence is also great, knowing silence turns off attack alerts for marines is noice, hearing a loud ambient sound effect on an almost necessary upgrade that also quietens other noises while active is a load of hot ######, I'm so glad this thread pointed out I can minimise it by ######ing with sound setup.
I prefer getting regen over carapace but the trade off is that marines can track me almost where ever I go.
Adrenaline over celerity is that yes adrenaline sucks because the devs long ago said that it was too powerful and to nerf it they simply doubled the amount you have rather than it regening faster. With the response “oh the alien commander can simply build shifts everywhere.†But getting celerity means you get the all powerful “whooshing sound†and if you can’t hear it then it means there’s a good chance that the marines can.
Silence is always a good upgrade but with cloak being at 100% now it’s also nice but it seems to de-cloak too often.

The sound system in NS2 is broken in general. Anything that is not a direct sound is a muffled, metallic, monophonic echo chamber with no apparent directional queues.
I find this sound VERY ANNOYING, especially in those moments when I'm hiding on the wall or ceiling and I'm trying to hear marine foot steps but I can't because that ************* whooshing sound just doesn't stop!!

watched the vid and went.. whut... I never heared that. And I always pick celer. using headphones from steelseries with a realtek card. Will check ingame lateron + check sound settings

You hear it but its quiet on your end, but for some other players its different, the question I should ask is even though its quiet do you even LIKE it? would you care if UWE removed it for the better of some players?

I agree Adrenaline to me is useless on every life for except gorge sometimes I think adrenaline should be changed to something like 60% pool increase 40% energy regen speed, I must admit 2x regen speed was a bit OP but 2X capacity with no regen benefits is useless, as far is UWE saying well Khamander can just place shifts everywhere, why would I want Adrenaline at that point?

I can hear it now.. so uhm.. thanks. :p
That said, it does seem it becomes louder the more you run. (capping finally at its max speed) Leaping and biting breaks the sound so I asume it still breaks celerity.
its anoying if you focus on the sound, granted.. but I tend to attack to much as a skulk to have it nonstop in my ears.
oh and by the way guys, I was playing gorge with celerity at Icarus and with gorge when you stop at times the sound will keep playing, seems like UWE didn't really fix the sound constantly playing when stoped after all, might post a video to prove this ofcourse. its a small bug but a bug none the less, just remove it so we don't have to worry about man hours being wasted on a stupid annoying feature
video of bug here <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MuiMgk2tPxw&feature=youtu.be" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MuiMgk2tPxw...eature=youtu.be</a>
dislike it 100%. I don't know where these ideas to inhibit audio and vision come from. I know i'm going fast, why do i need some bloody "WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSH" or blurred screens to let me know i'm going fast? It's just ugly and gets in the way of scouting and play.

The sad fact is that celerity does not produce the whooshing sound but you can just hear it better from the extra speed. If you get a lerk and fly at full speed you can kind of hear it with good head phones but when you get celerity it’s like sticking your head out of a car going 90 mph.

you are correct about celerity not causing the sound but amplifying it, however its not the extra speed that makes you hear more, its having celerty, you can be a gorge having celerity, and a lerk not having celerity, a lerk without celerity is faster then a gorge with celerity, but the gorge has more wind noise
