I'm not the only one who thinks this, it appears. I just bought the gold pack from Steam and have started on the tutorials. I've played quite a few 4x games, including GC2 and this is the first time where I've complained about a sound effect. I learned from the linked forum post that all of the SFX are bundled now, unlike in GC2 where they are all in separate .wav files. I'd really rather not disable SFX entirely, but there's no way (seemingly) to mod this to a different sound or to reduce the volume of just the clicks. I'm finding it annoying to the point of disruption (and posting here).

I realize that this sound isn't bother some for some people; please don't chime in and say "it's not a problem, I've logged 200 hours!". Incidentally, I wear headphones (HyperX Cloud II). That might exacerbate it.

Any suggestions? Stardock, Brad, would this be something you could fix easily? Even separating just the click sounds out from the packaged SFX so they could be swapped out for any other sound would be awesome. As an alternative, the ability to reduce the volume of just UI sounds would be brilliant (though I suspect that would be more work). Thanks!
