For the most part, the emote sounds you get along with the actual animation themselves are fine , but there are some that can get a bit obnoxious after a while.
I think an option to ‘mute’ individual thralls or certain emotes would be useful because of this, that way you can still have the animation itself, but don’t need to listen someone perpetually coughing or making weird confused sounds throughout your entire base.
Just a thought… 
im with you, they are annoying some time mute would be a good ideia plus they could have smaller radius to listen a very smaller radius, in all directions
Oh this brings back memories… the noisy thrall patch…
I’m not sure the issue is with constant sounds, but more an issue with needing to lower the radius to maybe a couple blocks. I don’t need to be across the way from a thrall that’s coughing or grunting yelling. If I’m close by, sure.
Just fix some sounds and it will be fine for me, such as:
The “submissive” emote is particularly weird for giving some moaning sounds.
The “Warcry” emote is too loud which makes it practical under no circumstances.
