I've been using audioCues.enabled for the past few weeks, even though I may not be the primary audience for this, and I've really enjoyed the added sounds as it enhances my development workflow.

However, I've found that the folded region audio cue sounds much too harsh compared to errors/breakpoints. To me, it sounds like someone fumbling through papers or writing on something and in the beginning this felt like I was still in a meeting 😄 see sample below (you'll need to turn on the 🔊 sound in the video clip):

Comparing the different sounds, the folded cue stands out by a lot and don't think it is warranted given the importance compared to errors/breakpoints. I think the sound should be more gentle and less harsh as it is less important. As I said, I may not be the primary user for this but just my feedback on the sound.
