Turn off animal noises?

[alysenne]

The constant noises from the cows, horses, sheep and whatever other animals is really getting on my nerves. Unfortunately, these sounds fall under 'sound effects' and not 'ambiance.' So I can't turn them off without turning off all the important sounds as well.

Is there an easy way to mod them out?

I have no real experience with modding this series, but I'd happily learn how to do it, if it means I can play CiV without the constant animal noises.

edit: Oh, removing other random incessant noises like shovels would be really nice too.

Moo, nay, moo, bah... MOO.

The bonus resource noises are really annoying. I would prefer to reduce the frequency and volume for these, but I would also gladly just replace the the sounds with silence.

I don't want a mod for this, I want every game I ever play again to be peaceful.

Does anyone know where the files are located or how to end this annoyance without turning down the sound effects volume?

the noises only play if you have cities near certain resources ( strategic, bonus or lux )
they seem to be very frequent if you have many of them near a city. They possibly even overrlap when played.

Ivory, cattle, horse and sheep are the worst. Why can't they just make the sounds that deer or cotton make?

Edit: after describing characteristics in the above post, I searched assets/Sounds/XML/Audio3DScripts.xml

This is how the cows will stfu for good.

Bless you sir. The cows and sheep are dead, served on a plate, and making no noise. You have rescued the other sound effects that were turned off through no fault of their own.
