IntelliStar Update - Sound Effects Disabled
« on: March 13, 2009, 02:57:14 PM »
As of March 12, 2009; all IntelliStars no longer have the 36/48 hour forecast sound effects. I was asking the STAR team on TWCC if that was reported an error, and they've told me that they've been disabled  throughout all domestic ISs. Don't know for how long though.

That's odd, hopefully it isn't permanent. I liked the sound effects.

Hmm, I didn't know anyone did. I don't (no offense, just my opinion  :smoke2: )
I didn't know this, but my intellistar still has all the normal narration and has the sound effects.

Why? I thought they were unnecessary, but I kind of liked them. Except for Windy. That sound effect is obnoxious, haha.

Apparently the average viewer didn't.

I liked the sound effects especially the "Thunder" and "Windy" ones, but it was too distracting with the effects, narration, and music all at once.

It's completely fine with me. I didn't like them from the start.

Oh, me neither! I am in fact stoked to hear that they were done away with.
I won't know for sure, since my forecast is sunny/clear for the next 48 hours.
