Hearing ringing noises is inevitable when Aloy is fighting mechanical monsters with a variety of attacks and abilities. Also, because the majority of the game is spent in fighting using explosive devices like traps and the like, these could potentially cause tinnitus.
Turn off/on Tinnitus Sounds
Toggle the Tinnitus Sounds option in HFW by going to the main menu. The tinnitus option is near the bottom of the Accessibility tab, above the Subtitles section.
The option’s description doesn’t say where the tinnitus noises come from or how often they occur. However, if any players are sensitive to ringing noises or are playing HFW with a headset, it may be advisable to turn them off.
If you’re messing with the television speaker and aren’t sensitive to that sort of stuff, it should be fine to leave the tinnitus sounds on. Because it’s impossible to predict when the tinnitus noises may appear in-game, gamers should avoid turning up the volume while playing.
