In another fine short clip by TotalHalibut is the highly odd, highly pig like grunt Worgen Sniff Sound: Worgen Sniffing Bug (at least I bloody hope it's a bug).

As his title says I'm hoping that sound is a bug too because it sounds too much like the sound of a grunting pig happily rooting through a feeding trough. (My grandparents owned some hogs and thats what the sound reminds me of.)

But if it is going to be the sound Worgens make I'm going to have to mute my game.

Turning off Emote Sounds might do it as well. I think it's hilarious that Worgen make that sound though!

I doubt they'll leave it on every time you move; I mean, I can't think of any other race in the game that does that.

It gets really old, really fast. *Laughs* I consider it to be one of the downsides of the race at the moment.

Heh. As long as they don't add it for the other races. :D

"TECHNO TECHNO TECHNO TECHNO EH EH EH EH."

TB still cracks me up... But yes, do not want loud annoying sniffing sound.

I love that Podcast! He's such a hoot!

I don't know...the snorty noise is kind of cute! Maybe not every time they move, but its not bad.

They do have an animation where they crouch on the ground and sniff, but I don't know if that happens often while idling or not or if it's mainly attached to an emote. That could become very annoying.

I just hope Worgen have a washing-their-privates idle animation. Actually, the butt-dragging animation from the Perky Pug would be good too.

It happens every time your character stops...it is highly irritating! :c

TECHNO TECHNO TECHNO TECHNO EH EH EH EH!

Oh lord, I love TB.

So that sound was me? God it was creepy, walking around Darnassus at night and hearing this noise.

On the other hand, it does stop when you shift back to human form. Frankly, if it weren't for that freaky sound, I'd never look at my human form again, so there might be a point to it. It's a reasonablely annoying downside to people who'd rather never shift back.

I was very annoyed by it at first, but after a while I didn't even notice it. But honestly, I really doubt they're going to leave it in. A lot of things are buggy right now. Health regeneration is pathetic in beta, my worgen mage had to have a steady supply of pies on hand. I noticed that mobs hit a LOT harder in beta than they do in live right now. Honestly...I'm kind of glad, it makes it a little more of a challenge.

Oh and /howl ftw!!!

TB did mention in his Darkshore leveling vid at the Ruins of Aurberdine that the mobs there were more of a challenge.
Whether they'll stay that way or get changed after Beta when enough people complain-because what level 14 player wants to get the snot beat out of them by a level 14 tornado element with a lighting attack that brings on the pain?-I really can't wait to see.

After checking the MPQ files, I've found how to silence the sniff.

Create three text files and rename them to:
WorgenMale_EmoteSniff_01.ogg
WorgenMale_EmoteSniff_02.ogg
WorgenMale_EmoteSniff_03.ogg

Then navigate to <World of Warcraft Beta install directory> --> Data --> Sound (Create this folder) --> Creature (Create this folder) --> WorgenMale (Create this folder)

Stick the renamed text files into the WorgenMale folder.

Poof! No more technosniff.

You can delete the Sound folder once they fix the bug to have you sniffarific sound back.
