What's that sound in Fireheart Rise?

I've been wondering about this for years but not enough to bring it up (and I'd forget about it soon after anyway). What is this odd sound that's always playing at equal intervals in Flame Legion-infested parts of the map? It sounds a bit like maracas being shaken just once and there doesn't seem to be an actual source of it. It could be the sound of meteorite rain which always seems to be going on in those areas but surely a rock hitting the ground wouldn't produce such a sound? :confused:

Impending Doom!

I guess that's it, lol.

I will keep an ear out for this next time I'm in the region.

I guess it's more obvious to me because I've been playing without music (just something I prefer to do, I know it's weird and the music is good). This sound is not part of the music track, it just sorta happens with no obvious source in that central part near Keeper's Sanctum (but it's heard in quite a large radius and doesn't seem to grow stronger or fainter anywhere).

I play with the game muted, so that's interesting to hear. Love the "impending doom" suggestion.

Sorry about bumping the thread but I gotta ask: people other than me can hear it, right? It makes sense that nobody can really identify it but it's not just happening to me, right? Right? twitch

First thing I thought of:

There's something happening thereWhat it is ain't exactly clearThere's a grawl with a tribe over thereI tell them they've got to beware

I think it's time we stop, Tyrians, what's that soundEverybody look what's going down

There's battle lines being drawnThe pact's right and Zhaitan is wrongYoung accounts working on heartsGetting so much resistance from the start

But "impending doom" works, too.

I'm still trying to figure out what causes random blooms of dust/smoke when I zone into some maps. Particularly the Charr ones. And no there are no burrowing animals in those areas I see it. I'll have to break down and video it one day.
