Classic WoW
Since the release of TBC the new MuteSoundFile API was added to the classic client, the retail version now works for both versions.
Retail WoW 8.2
Patch 8.2 broke the way this addon originally worked and so has had to be reworked.
This addon is now installed into the Interface > Addons directory just like any other addon.
Since this change required a complete rework of the addon there are around ~2500 sounds missing from this version that the previous version muted.
You can safely delete the old versions installation folder "Sound" in your World of Warcraft directory.
This version only works on Retail.
Custom sounds mutes:.
If you want to mute sounds that aren't already included in the addon I've created a small tool to help you do so using sound ids found on wowhead.
To clarify, this is NOT needed to make this addon work, this is something extra and entirely optional for those who'd like to mute sounds not already muted.
The download and instructions for using it can be found here:
https://github.com/Kiingy/MuteWoWSounds.
The above link also contains the complete source code for anyone interested.
Basic List: Please note this isn't a complete list, it's a small sample to give an idea of whats been muted.
- Players: All race combat grunts as well as emote sounds like train and worgen sniffs. All footsteps.

Anyone find the proper codes yet to remove the annoying sounds of Pocopoc?
Most of the "voice" sounds are already listed elsewhere. But I not been able to find the "rolling Pocopoc" sound to mute it.
I tried this addon in TBC-Classic which is based on the same client as retail but it doesn't actually work. I know it was not made with tbc sounds in mind although the standard combat sounds should be muted. Dunno why it doesn't work. No lua errors or something like that. Just wanted you guys to know.
In reply to nihlolino:
I have it working in TBC classic to get rid of Screech's godawful noise, and it is working well.

I want to mute just a few sounds, like cat growls and chopper mounts. Can I edit the SoundMutes.lua to remove the 8845 muted sounds it has by default and ONLY mute the few sounds that I choose?
I badly need to mute garrosh any idea about his ID's ?
PSA: If you want to mute the Cindermane Charger's wing flaps you can add the following sound IDs to the SoundMutes.lua -file:
564173
564174
564176
564177
In reply to JaxxArmstrong:
Anyone know what IDs to mute for Windwalker's proc sound for Dance of Chi-Ji? It's really irritating, the exact same sound a league of legends ping makes
Please remove the sound of moving on Sintouched Deathwalker
In reply to ForgeLike:
he posted a link in the description to mute things yourself if you want something added
CAN SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME WHICH ADDON IS FOR WOW CLASSIC?
IM GOING TO LOOSE MY MIND BECOUSE OF THIS MORON SPELL FIZZLE SOUND!
I am confused, so which version of this addon is working with wow classic?
Many people have complained that the big block of default muted IDs mutes too many things but is impossible to select from because none of them are labeled...
So I labeled them! https://pastebin.com/RxkYq498
This is the same list of Sound IDs as is found in the SoundMutes.lua file, but with their sound name added as a comment next to the ID numbers. The names were scraped from WoWhead, and some IDs possibly belong to more than one sound kit, so I can't guarantee it's error free but hopefully this helps folks only mute the sounds they actually find annoying without winding up in total silence :P
To use, open the SoundMutes.lua file contained in this Addon and replace the entire SoundIDs variable with the one provided in the pastebin link. Either comment out sounds you still want to hear with a '--' at the beginning of their line, or only copy and paste in the sounds you want muted.
Here's wishing everyone a more silent and peaceful Winter's Veil!
In reply to fig_tree:
Nice job fig!
The sound id of dead blanchy is https://wow.tools/files/#search=3587276
Edit: Looks like they already hotfixed the sound to something else
One sound I'm really missing in this addon is the High pitch sound that is constant whenever you are mounted on Sinrunner Blanchy. I tried following your instruction on custom adding this sound, but I could not identify it in the Wowhead sounds-tab. Many other horse-sounds listed, but not the one worth removing. If you get the chance, could you please look into this sound?
