The text announcement can be  killed by setting the player file entry for
this to 2 instead of 3 (verbose).  This does NOT stop the damned sound
though.

This sound causes massive screen freezes every single time someone enters or
leaves the game.  It is totally unacceptable.

I've read that this was a primary complaint of online in Thunder 2004 as
well.

It is really, REALLY loud too.

The screen freezes this causes has caused a ton of wrecks too.

I've been all over the player file and other than being able to turn off the
text/chat portion of the announcement I can't find anything to stop the
sound/stutter.

Change the .wav to .old, or something.

Speaking of which, what's with the scraping noise (i.e. bottoming out)?
Sounds more like a rustling plastic bag.
