What the HEK! vs Red-Rider Plinx-BB's! (weapon sound customization - in appearance tabs)
Saw some of Tenno-Con discussion on the sounds... Braton & Hek "changes"...
It got me to think of every-way in Warframe is customizable, all the player freedoms, the power fantasy, & the immersion, everything available at our finger tips...
THEN IT HIT ME...
One of the very few things not customizable in Warframe are "WEAPON SOUNDS!", why is that?

Why not provide players a way to access these amazing sounds along with others that developers and SFX creators work so hard to create?
If you like the echo-heavy 50 cal. "Hek" sound, that classic mini-gun.... AK-zZVBRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!, or a Plinx BB-gun... why not allow the player to interchange these sounds much like they do Warframe animations?
A classic Wisp "Booty Animation" Rhino! holding a 1 "HEK" of a Plinx.
And when that new player is like WTF is that gun! it shredding everything!
Can't you tell its my Rainbow (6 Colored) "Red Rider BB-Gun" fully custom side arm a.k.a. "Lex Prime Incarnon" with plinx SFX and a gangster - tommy-gun nightwave skin - with all the best mods, and a 1 of a kind riven.

Some people might prefer a "Silenced" HEK or Braton when hunting 3/3 sabotage caches on maps for mods and other rewards... to hear that elusive "HUMMING" from farther than 10m in a gun fight. (please increase the range to like 100m on these caches!!!! and to gradually get grow louder if you look towards the nearest door to the cache "invisible way-point marker for sound" or if you look in it's direction "as the crow flies". There's a lot of gun fighting in this game that's... "really loud!")

Could go all out making it client side only. No restrictions: (loads of fun - and hours of craziness)
* If client side only: a collection reward to own the weapon sound or 1+ variants of that weapon.

If client & server side: a basic store cosmetic option could do the trick or even a helminith weapon modification.
* Base type weapons together: throw/ melee/ gun/ bow/ rocket/ bounce explosive.
* Initial Firing/Attack sounds only
(NOT EXILUS SLOTS! FOR THE LOVE OF GOT DO NOT PUT IT THERE! Do not make us players choose between "COSMETIC FUN" and "VERY LIMITED POWA!" Even though it could work. for popular sounds like "The Hek SFX".)

The only options we have now for sound customization are to tweak the crap out of our equalizers, cranking the Bass, Reverb, Echo, and other sound settings until they are just right turning our Plinx into a Dirty Harry Magnum. Sadly this causes the rest of the game could sound less great.

Additionally this sound cosmetic change to customize the sounds of weapons will bring hours of additional fun to guns like the Plinx along with every single other weapon in the game! And still keep the game sounding great! Imagine all the possibilities! "Ahh the Plinx - Mosin Nagant carbine capable of deafening anything within 100 yards and turning midnight into peak daylight in a single shot" #youtube The "Mosin Nagant" is one of worlds loudest guns.

Some weapon reskins have custom sounds, like the protokol shotgun and revolver reskins. That's about as far as I think custom noises should be taken
