Unable to reproduce. In my case I can hear the sound a little longer than I should (2-4 s?) but nothing like 30 s of sound after the effect is ended. Could you please check it one more time in current version of the game? And add simple repro mission in case you will be still able to reproduce it? Thanks

I tested some more again and I found out the following:

-After extinguishing the fire, as long as I stay close to the fireplace I can hear the burning sound forever.
-If I run away from the extinguished fireplace, the sound that sticks to your ear disappears.
-After walking away from the extinguished fireplace (to make the sound disappear) and walking back to it again, pressing ESC to bring up the menu and then getting back to the game when you're close to the extinguished fire makes the sound get stuck in your ears again, unless you light the fire, extinguish it again and then walk away from it.

Testing done using the latest stable version, in the editor with no mods.

If you are still unable to reproduce the issues above, chances are it's something in my configuration, maybe Razer virtual surround software, even though I doubt it because it never gave me any issues.

Thank you, I was able to reproduce it now. This seems to be an issue only in the stable branch. It should be fixed after the next stable branch update.

I will check it and close this issue eventually after the next stable branch update. Thanks for your feedback!

You are very welcome, keep up the good work.

This hasn't been entirely fixed in 1.40. As long as you don't move at all after putting out the fire, you can still hear the fire sound forever.
