Talking aim icons

A couple of my friends have Aim icons that make sounds whenever they make an emoticon or say lol or such. Needless to say, this makes me want to rip my fucking ears off, so I was wondering if anyone could provide a more elegant solution to my problem. I don't see any preferences which allows you to turn the sound off for icons in Aim.

I've never come across that problem O_o. Maybe it's because I have everything pretty much disabled except the aim in / out sound.

What does it do, display some animated smiley face laughing and then it makes a sound?

Pretty much, yeah.

Try turning off all those stupid extras in your options menu. I've NEVER had that shit pop up for me. Have them IM me with it lets see.

Turn off all sounds associated with aim. If someone I knew was using that though, I'd prolly be like get rid of it, or don't im me any more.

Well, I figured it out. It's called Superbuddy. It's godawfully annoying, but thankfully you can disable it.

Should just disable those buddies imo

God I hate those fucking things.
