While I have no official information from CA, my guess is that they'll keep them in, don't ask me why though. I think you can mod them out though without too much hassle, have never done that myself in R:TW though.

The funny thing is, that I never really noticed those sounds or just immediately filtered them, but I could never play Rome with my speakers on when my girlfriend was around because she would get annoyed at the sounds and call me a retard for playing a game, where every information is passed to you two-hundred-fold. So, I'm a marked man and wouldn't mind those sounds disappearing or being less frequent.

Cheers!
