Ratman's Mute Fizzle

Mutes the fizzle sound the game plays when a spell fails to cast, like when you press something that's on cooldown or you're out of mana. Pick which spell schools to mute, with a Play button for each so you can hear what it is.
Mute Fizzle
When you press a spell that can’t be cast, the game plays a short fizzle sound. If you mash your keys while something is on cooldown or you’re out of mana, you hear it over and over. I noticed it first on my paladin when I ran out of mana, then again on my warrior when I kept hitting a racial that was on cooldown.
The game has one fizzle sound for each spell school: Holy, Fire, Nature, Frost and Shadow. This addon mutes them.
What it does:
- Mutes all five fizzle sounds when you log in. No setup needed.
- Each sound has its own checkbox, so you can keep the ones you want to hear.
- Each sound has a Play button, so you can hear which one it is before you decide. Play works even when the sound is muted. It turns the sound back on for 2 seconds, then mutes it again.
- Settings are under Options → AddOns → Ratman’s MuteFizzle, or type /fizzle (or /mutefizzle).
- No libraries. Settings are saved per account.
Good to know:
- It mutes the sound no matter why the cast failed. On cooldown, not enough mana and out of range all play the same sound, so I can’t mute it for just one of those.
- The red error text stays. So do the spoken lines like “Not enough mana”. Those have their own setting in the game’s Sound options (Error Speech).
- Physical abilities, like most warrior and rogue attacks, don’t seem to play a fizzle at all, so there is nothing to mute for those.
- I made this for Forever and that is the only client I’ve tested it on. It loads on the other clients too.
