Read this topic on the official forums: [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]

So I thought I could do a small how-to to accomplish the OP's wish.

Included the guide and files required to do this in this archive:
[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]

The content of the guide I can also post here:

1. Export the "Sound" folder in a temp folder in this order:
	a) First from "common.MPQ"
	b) Then from "patch.MPQ"
	c) Also "patch-#.MPQ" if there is one, and if there is a "Sound" directory in it

2. Open the temporary folder with the sound files, delete all folders EXCEPT:
	a) Character
	b) Effects
	c) Item
	d) Spells
File size should be around 110 MB after in total for those 4 folders that are left in the folder.

3. Put "normalize.exe" and "batch_all.bat" in the temporary "Sound" folder now.

!. BEFORE you go to step 4, take a look on the pictures "beforebatchrunning_1.jpg" and "beforebatchrunning_2.jpg", that's how the folder and "Sound" folder should look like before you run the "batch_all.bat" file!

4. Edit "batch_all.bat" (in Notepad) if you want a custom dbBFS level, then run it.

5. After the convert is done, you have to put the "Sound" folder in a MPQ file, like this:
	a) Download MyWarCraftStudio from here: http://www.wowmodelviewer.org/index.php?option=com_remository&Itemid=35&func=showdown&id=12
	b) Run "MyWarCraftStudio.exe" after you extract the files and continue to step 5c.
	c) Click "Pack(P)" then "Create MPQ archive"
	d) Navigate to: "..\WoW\Data" (on your own installation directory)
	e) Create a file named "patch-#.MPQ" where # is 1 number higher than the existing one, if none then name it "patch-2.MPQ", if there is a "patch-2.MPQ" from before name it then for "patch-3.MPQ" and so on.
	f) Right-click the empty list on the left side and select "Import Folder..."
	g) Navigate to the "Sound" folder and open it.
	h) Select the file "dummy" and click "Open"
	i) Click the Save button (or "Pack(P)" then "Save and Close Archive")
	j) Close the program

Start the game and enjoy a adjusted sound effect level where you can hear boss voices without the annoying spell effects, warrior swings and shaman windfury procs!

The pictures included in the archive:



There is a "normalize.exe" file that can adjust db levels in sounds, and a batch_all.bat to do the batching for you. You can edit the db levels in the file if you edit the .bat in Notepad or other text editor.

I hope someone will find this useful, you don't even need the model edit fix for this to work, the wav files will be loaded from the custom MPQ file.
