Owls should fly silently (but don't?)

[Roxanne Flowers 15]

Any Hunter who has ever tamed an Owl (or a Carrion Bird) can tell you that one of the more annoying "features" of having a bird Pet is the INCESSANT flapping noise it makes as it beats its wings.  This flapping noise is surprisingly loud, and it just never stops ... ever ... and while that might appropriate for a Carrion Bird, it really ISN'T an appropriate bit of sound FX for an Owl.

Why? Well ... have a look at ...

... with the relevant part starting at 1:58 in.

So my suggestion in this case is something relatively straightforward.  Would it be possible for the development team to simply alter the sound FX call(s) for the Owl Beast/Pet such that rather than playing a sound file of FX for the animated wing beats there is instead NO sound file being played?  In essence, would it be possible to "silence" the wingbeat animation(s) used by the Owl (only) while keeping the rest of the sounds used for the Owl in the game?  If that can't be done, could the volume used on those wingbeat sound FX be lowered by ... 90% or so?

Because I don't know about anyone else, but HEARING an Owl making a LOUD flapping noise ALL THE TIME just seems to be especially wrong ... especially if we're supposed to believe it's, you know, an OWL.

Why?

Because Owls are "supposed to" fly SILENTLY ... but in World of Warcraft, they don't (by default).  Could this be fixed corrected?  It would certainly help with immersion.

I agree. There is nothing worse than grouping with a hunter that has tamed owl as a pet. 

It would be nice to have a fix for this -- some way to cancel the sound of this pet.
