I noticed in this video the noises the fox makes. I'm hoping that its just the poor sound quality or maybe just at the wrong speed,but is there anyone in the beta that can please tell me the fox doesn't really sound this horribly annoying? Its at about 4:52 and it is really not pleasant on the ears.

Oh my. That sounds awful. I can imagine hunters taming them now, only because they annoy others in PvP...

Hell, they'd be annoying for melee classes in normal dungeons too...

My fox sounds pretty much like that. Only alot louder, and kinda squeaky sometimes when it gets smacked.
BUT sounds are really buggy right now on the beta. Sometimes I can hear a lock as if they're casting in my ear when they're well over 30 ft from me.

It does sort of sound like what most wolves make now only at a higher pitch and on speed. Its probably the bug, but I hope they change it. As cute as a fox is I'm not taming anything that sounds like the fast paced spawn of the joker and a hyena.

That's actually similar to the sounds a RL fox makes... It's going to be something similar to it, anyhow.

It sounds exactly like that (well put!) But there are some differences as well. Foxes sound real snarly. I can't hear the video's one that well, i really cant hear anything over the guy. But I do hear it lightly enough to recognize it sounding alot like the fox Im using.
But personally, I find it so cute, I look past it XD

Oh man, my friend played me a vid of what foxes really sound like, and it's really really creepy. I'm glad they don't sound that creepy. XD

Never had a carrion bird?

Ever had an owl before they became birds of prey?

Hell they aren't the worst pets, and they probably won;t be that awful tbh as I didn't really even notice anything.
But then again, I've tamed the worst.
Corehound + Gun = group hates you. I actually had that once too. Another group, the war just kindly complained all aw man you have the noisiest pet in the game D:

True, Ryai. I was just posting my opinion regarding these little animals.

Do you have the corehound pup too? That'd officially be the noisiest combo ever

Sounds like a red fox to me. They're pretty squeaky sounding.

The sounds I have heard are more like a terrier/dog combo and for some reason their special attack sound is a howling wolf. I have the wav files but nowhere to upload. :p

I'm leveling with a black fox in the beta and I've only noticed his sounds when I'm at melee range -- and not even much then. Mind you, I don't play with my sound up all that high because I am usually listening to music, but honestly until this thread I hadn't given his sounds a second thought.
