Am I the only one who wishes we could turn off the background music?

I will say it gets repetitive

I'd like the ability to play music from the previous games. It would be really neat for us to be able to mix and match our favorite music from every AC game.

I personally can't stand a good chunk of the hourly soundtrack, especially songs with the synths (doesn't fit at all). No offense to anyone who likes it, it's just ear-grating to me. I love waterfalls, natural sounds. So most of the mid-day songs, I just mute or low volume.

Agreed. NL and WW are my personal favorites.

I wish they had the Stardew Valley sound settings, you can turn up/down SFX, music, footstep sounds, ambient noise.

i dont like the background music either...especially during shooting stars nights. i literally have to stand on the pier so i dont have to listen to the music. in Every video game that i play i always turn off the music completely...footsteps are important to hear!

I would love this so much. Anytime a game gives me the option to turn up/down audio it makes me so happy. I almost always put the music down lower because I love the sound of footsteps, lol. It would also help in this game with hearing the shooting stars and balloons!

As a whole though I just don't vibe with a lot of the New Horizons music. It's not my cup of tea so I do wish we could mute it without losing the sound effects or have the option to play the New Leaf music (or any other older games music! I've just only played New Leaf so I'll use them but it would be cool to hear other tracks from the older games as well). I generally play around the same time each day so I'm almost always hearing the same daytime tracks and to be honest, I feel like a lot of them sound the same?? Which doesn't help with the repetitive-ness. I've played a few times at like 3 and 5 am and I think those sounds tracks were prettier but nothing is open at those times so it's not reasonable to play then.

No, no you are not at all! I rarely ever play with the sound on, since the music doesn't feel like "animal crossing" to me. Sometimes I even listen to New Leaf's soundtrack while playing. It would be nice to just walk around your island and listen to the natural sounds.

i don't care for new horizon's soundtrack at all, i wish you could just turn it off. i especially hate when you have a music player out and you walk a few steps away and the background music overpowers it immediately. i'm at a point where i just mute everything and listen to podcasts instead.

I don’t hate the soundtrack, so I’ve no desire to have the ability to use older AC soundtracks (the fact that it’s also been composed with the deserted island in mind isn’t warming me to the idea, either!)

The ability to mute it would potentially be helpful, tho. Sometimes you just need to hear the rustle of grass and the trickle of water, y’know!

 

[Faux]

I'd personally love a way to turn down the damn waterfalls, it's exhaustingly loud, and I don't want to even have waterfalls because of how roaring it is.

 

[KaibaKihashi]

I don't really like the music this time around either. I wish nintendo did an options for music, not just a volume slider, but also the option to use music from previous games would be cool, I used to adore just having the game on and listening to the music for a bit on older games.

another thing I've kinda thought of is how we are able to make our own town tunes? maybe make your own hourly music and make it shareable online like we can with designs, just a thought. like with minecraft music packs.

 

[Flicky]

I'd love a way to get rid of the music for a bit. It's not the worst I've heard, but there are certainly more pleasant tunes out there, and I prefer the ambiance sounds anyway. Although, I'd also be happy if we could change our whole island to a K.K. song without the need for scattering phonographs all over the place (I can barely hear one of my secret music players, and it's only 3 squares away from me)!

The 5am song is the only one I'd never mute - it's beautiful, and I feel so calm and relaxed when listening to it.

 

[BellBrokeGirl]

I am officially sick of the background music. It’s so repetitive and annoying now that I’m just muting the game. RIP to all the fish I’ve lost in this process

 

[JabuJabule]

I wish I could change it to ACGC music.

 

[peachsaucekitty]

I've been asking for this one since unlocking the hourly music. I find some of the songs hard to listen to. It'd be nice to have a volume slider to set the BGM level. It would also be cool, though far fetched, to re-enable the prologue music.

hourly music is something you have to unlock first!!? that's ridiculous??? and to answer op's question, i tottally agree. i haven't unlocked the hourly music yet, but if it were a feature, i would totally mute it if i could. new horizon's music is just so....nah

 

[Sidney]

I do wish there was a way to adjust it, not just turn it off. Most video games nowadays let you adjust the volume for each part of the game, so it really stinks that we can’t yet. Maybe in a future update?

[amylsp]

You’re definitely not the only one. I hate that we can’t adjust the music down and just listen to the ambient sounds of the game. It would be so easy to implement. It’s crazy it’s not an option!

 

[VanitasFan26]

Yeah same here I really don't like the soundtrack in the background. I just mute the game and put on Kingdom Hearts Soundtrack. Trust me there is alot of relaxing KH songs that to me makes this game feel more relaxing when I play.

 

[Starboard]

All the times I've placed music players I've ended up removing them because every time I went near the area the music would just clash with the background music and sound gross. That's another reason I want a mute button.
