Has this been tested? It just sounds like a brief click to me. Odin already makes a noise when it receives an order, so this is redundant for the order-giver, and it just seems like noise to anyone else. Sounds are used to tell people that something happened, and I see no value in telling people that Odin took off. Perhaps something like this is good for ambience, but I think we at least would need someone designing the overall audio landscape and designating bits of it for ambience for that to work. I don't think we're going to end up anywhere good ambience-wise by attaching sounds to things piecemeal. When I heard this in the wild I thought my speakers were broken or a sound was clipping. It has a piercing pitch.

The sound was originally tested when Eclipse was added. It's supposed to sound like a gas burner being turned on, which does include a bit of clicking.
