Dunking noise

Did anyone try to change the dunk noise? I find it very annoying that it sounds like something hitting the garbage can everyone time I dunk.

If you watch NBA Dunks on TV or MOvies or whatever you'll hear a SIMILAR NOISE like for instance when Dominique Wilkins did his Two Handed Windmill Dunk in the 1986 Dunk Contest Noise it made a fat clank noise

Sure, some monster dunks make a nice loud clank in real life. But the problem in Live is that almost every dunk sounds like a nuclear bomb going off. It happens whether it's a simple dunk from just under the rim, or a nasty freethrow line takeoff.

It would have been nice if EA included a simple toggle for this (as was asked for in several user wish lists), or have the BOOM in arcade mode only. Having an extra-loud noise for particularly forceful dunks would be cool, but hearing it every time reduces the realism of the game and diminishes the cool-factor of a nice slam dunk.
