Still incorrect sound for Shield Defense taunt

[AkuTenshiiZero]

This has been brought up a few times, but Shield Defense has been playing the wrong sound effect for about as long as Homecoming has existed, and to my knowledge has never been addressed.  I've seen/made a few threads on the topic over the past few years to no avail.  It would be nice if anyone could address this and at least say why it can't be fixed.

 

Long story short: While holding a shield, for some reason the game is playing growling/screaming taunts instead of the default grunt we all know.  It's theorized that this is because the game is pulling Savage Melee taunts since they use the same one-handed animation.  This is very annoying (and in my case, my friends complain about having to hear my female tanker screeching constantly).  An option to customize or disable the sound entirely would be a nice way to fix this.

You can replace the sound effect locally until it gets fixed.

Sure, and that solves the issue for me, but not for people in my party who have to listen to the constant shrieking.

Well if they're your friends they can change the sounds too. Everyone else is just gonna have to bear it.
