If you decreased the fly sound, you'd trade easier localization for less
range in hearing the loot sound. I personally like the way it is, even with
the disorienting effect of the flies as they are. It's a challenge to
situational awareness, to keep track of potential enemies while finding the
individual items.

Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Swamp: spawning and loot questions.
I'll pass this suggestion along to Kai. As it's a sound issue, that is his
department. :)
With the graphics I knew that no matter what the sighted players would have
an advantage in some ways, so I tried to restrict them in others. So rather
than making their situation easier it just makes it different. In close
range they will have an easier time, but at long range the blind users do.
