The new sounds on reactives and heals are killing me

Does anyone know of a way to replace spell-related sounds? Are the sounds engaged when I cast Penance or Alleviation individual .wav files somewhere, or part of a larger uneditable file?

I loathe most aspects of this recent GU, but the changes to my inquisitor's heal sounds makes her unplayable - I can't listen to them. Every heal has a Sci-Fi sound that sounds nothing like a heal, but worse, chaining reactives keeps a very annoying droning tone running, again mechanical / sci fi in nature. The little flourish at the end of Alleviation takes the cake though, it's straight out of Star Trek: NG.

Since the devs have decided to give us no way to keep our old beloved sounds, is there any way to edit this, to replace the new garbage with the older files or similar? Any alternative UI that would have this option?

I feel the same way, it's the high pitched droning, ESPECIALLY on my warden is absolutely insane. If you are primary healing , constantly casting heals, it's bad.. occasionally casting a heal it's not too bad
