Sound changed?

Do not tell me that this happens only to me: since some hours the sound - when moving and taking pieces - has changed (I liked the old sound so much). As I see nowhere an option to chose between different sounds I suppose this happened to everybody?
Same here. I like the new sounds better though :)
Really? But it sound like grunting pigs when taking a piece, doesnt it?

However one of the things I liked most on lichess, were the old sound. No way to opt for the old one?
I think the old sounds were more audible, but perhaps too distracting while listening to music. The new sounds are a bit too dim and sometimes I'm unaware if my opponent's made a move. The ability to pick between different sound sets (similar to how we can choose between various chess pieces) would be great, I think.
I HATE the new sound. It is ridiculous, I can barely hear it. Why on earth must things that work be fiddled about with instead of the things that don't. Jeeez :(
In my opinion the old sounds where better then the new ones
@ScarletPimpernel: because what works for someone might not work for someone else, perhaps others complained about the old sounds.

I believe if enough people show their appreciation for the old sounds they may be brought back as an option.
The point is, with the old sounds one could turn them up or down. I preferred the sound too, but most importantly, the user had control over them - with the new sound, it is so quiet that even with headphones on I can barely hear it.

Really disappointed.
I mean, this is a really stylish site. Very classy! Are grunting pigs really the right sound track for the environment?
