The sound the Steam Deck makes when moving the cursor around in Game Mode - eg when browsing games, etc - has an annoying component in it. By the end of the sound, rather than let the sound decay normally, there is a small chirp by the end. It's very low volume, but once you hear it, you cannot unhear it.

I think it might be a digital processing artefact of some sort, or some sort of aliasing. It's really annoying and hearing it a thousand times a day really takes the fun out of it for me. Could you guys update this sound so it doesn't have the chirp? Ultimately it's some basic wave editing with the pencil tool.

I don't know why that chirp is in there - but it's driving me mad.

Thanks and appreciated

I'm using Bazzite in game mode, and I first noticed this on a Hisense 43QD65NF that I can hear the chirp very clearly on. I thought it was a TV thing at first, but when I turn up the volume on my headset I can hear it there too.

It's just the one sound effect that plays when switching to the next game on the home screen or switching settings within a setting category, but not the one when switching setting categories.

glad i'm not going crazy. as a fix i'm using the decky sound theme plugin,
i'm using the gran turismo 2 theme. it's mostly fine except for the typing
sound which is kinda stupid, but it's still fine.
