Quest3 v2.4.1034 should allow users to disable background ambient sounds

Hi everyone,

After updating to Quest3 v2.4.1034, I noticed that the system background ambient sound is still present in the home environment. Personally, I find this sound unnecessary and sometimes distracting, especially when I am watching videos, using the browser, connecting to PCVR, or simply staying in the home menu.

I think Meta should either remove this background sound effect, or at least provide a simple option to turn it off.

A good solution would be:

Settings > Audio > Background / Ambient Sound > On / Off

This would allow users who enjoy the atmosphere to keep it enabled, while users who prefer a quiet environment could disable it completely.

For VR devices, comfort and immersion are very personal. Some users like ambient effects, but others may find them annoying, tiring, or distracting. Giving users control over this setting would make the Quest experience better for everyone.

Please consider adding an option to disable system background ambient sounds in a future Quest update.

Thank you.
