Have the ability to adjust volume on individual power special effects

I thought about this one when I picked up Lightning Field for my Dual/Elec Blaster. I have never really noticed how annoying that "crackling" sound can be when my Lightning Field is activated. I normally run my Volume at max 100% on all my powers to get the full effect of the game. When you go to the "Options" menu, you only have the ability to turn down volume on "all" your powers Special Effects at once, which I don't want to do.

You can see the dilemma here. I pretty much can tolerate 99% of the Sound Effects for my powers but for the one that can be annoying such as Lightning Field, why not have a slide bar that allows you to adjust each powers Special Effect Volume "individually" instead of all of them turned down (which would suck) or just leave them all maxed out at 100% and suffer with just that one annoying power that gnaws at your inner ear canal..lol.

If this is not an option, then I would suggest to just change or modify that Sound Effect for Lightning Field altogether. As annoying as it is, I cannot believe someone in development hasn't made that suggestion prior. I know I cannot be the only one who finds this sound annoying. What do you guys think about this idea?

I'd love to nearly mute the powers on Peacebringers, so I could actually have anotehr crack at playing one. I hate turning down or muting the game sounds, but I cant play a PB because of the long whine of nearly every attack.
Same goes for any power that loops, like arctic chill, or some of the toggle AoEs.

Until you get a slider for individual powers (which will be sometime between issue infinity and never, most likely), you can silence (or replace) the current sounds:
