[BUG-6913] [Experience Tools] Suppress teleport sound on short range

[sl-service-account]

How would you like the feature to work?

Suppress teleport sounds for short range teleports.

Why is this feature important to you? How would it benefit the community?

This would improve the user experience when using features such as llTeleportAgent() on short distances, such as positioning an avatar playing an Experience game to operate a lever.

Assigning to Troy to triage.

Playing the teleport sound is something the viewer does on its own.

To do this, we would need to add an indication from the simulator that a particular teleport should not play the sound, and then get viewers to implement that new indication. In short, at best it would take years for many users to get the change.

Seems like a lot of work for little benefit.

I agree with what Oz says about adding an indication from the simulator being allot of work for not much gain. A simpler solution would be having the viewer adjust the volume of the teleport sound based on range (down to zero at ?30? meters) Or at least have a difference between teleporting across the world, accross the sim, or just a few meters over to the left.
