...so has anyone found a fix/workaround for the insanely, obnoxiously, horrendously loud noises the launcher makes? I know when this first came up people were talking about a Windows 7 fix but is there any other solution out there?

I have windows 7 and have not fixed it yet, it just doesn't bother me all that much. If it bothers you thought why not just hit mute, hit the button and hit mute again?

That's what I've been doing, just wondered if there was a fix or a non-stupid workaround.

I read something once about how it's a little bit safer to use the launcher with all the keyloggers going around.

What I did was click the icon, go to properties and change the word "lanucher" to "WoW".

This actually works perfectly. Doing this ONLY mutes the Launcher sound (or just decreases the volume) and affects nothing else. You don't need to ever change it again, either. It saves the setting permanently.
