Default Change the click (interrupted) sound
It's quite an irritating sound. Although getting interrupted is irritating and it fit's that concept, I think the sound could be softer.

Or is there a way I can switch it on my own?

Why change the sound if it fits the concept? Anet picks the sounds for everything else. I don't see why you should be able to pick the interrupt sound. Just avoid getting interrupted.

Not sure if there's a way you can make it softer (wait for other people to reply), but I agree some of the sounds are irritating.

/signed for being able to adjust the sounds to your liking.

do you like that sound or something? and do you notice how "avoid getting interrupted" wasn't very helpful advice? lol.. your missing the point. ever join a match where your warrior goes heal sig/escape a hundred times? It's an irritating sound and could be softer. I can't see how you disagree with that.

Being interrupted is annoying, so I feel it is totally acceptable that the sound for being interrupted is just as annoying.

There is something wrong with you if you're complaining about a sound.

What do you want Arena.Net to do, change the interrupt sound to, oh, I don't know... the "OBJECTION!" effect from Phoenix Wright?

Sheesh.

Not. Signed.

Having been an interrupt ranger for ~2 years now, I kinda like the sound. It has a ring of success to it (Pavlov's Dog? ).

/notsigned for me. Though I wouldn't object to other people being able to turn it off/change it if they wanted to.

Personally I like the interrupt sound, especially when Gwen is causing it to happen a lot. But if you really don't like it, it should be something that a 3rd party mod to GW could change.

Pretty sure there's a mod for changing the sound of that if you don't like it :P

Or change it to something you really want...

I think it works pretty well for what it does. I mean, its annoying and distinctive. You can't just have it be another "swish" or "boom" or "zap" sound because then you might confuse the sound with that of an actual spell cast.

"Everybody" (using the term loosely here) recognizes the sound of an interupted skill. Try saying the same about some other game sound effect. What's it sound like when Sheild of Regeneration is cast on somebody? *shrug*

It's just a sound. It isn't even particularly irritating. There's something inherently psychological about this that would suggest if you don't like the interrupt sound, it's probably because you recall bad memories of being interrupted during crucial moments when you play. If you like the interrupt sound, it's probably because you were the one making the interrupts.

Like he said, Pavlov's dog.

So in truth, by changing the sound, that noise would simply become the new 'irritating' sound which much be changed if you already don't like the current sound. So in the end, it won't solve anything.

But just for the fun of it, I can think of several sounds that would be fun to use:

Sound from Monty Python: Search for the Holy Grail - "Help help! I'm being oppressed!"

Blood curdling scream

Tidbit from REM's "It's the end of the world as we know it."

"Thank you, may I have another?"

"This is SPARTAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

The list goes on...

I love the sound. Even when it happens to me. Gwen just makes it ring in my ear so often it's like sweet music. And when my d-shot hits the mark interrupting that enemy mesmer's Shame(because I pre-fire my interrupts...90% of them work), it just makes it all that much sweeter.
