To me the proximity alarm is as obnoxious as a buddy watching you play and say repeatedly: you gonna die... you gonna die. YOU GONNA DIE MAN WHAT ARE YOU DOING!
proxy alarm variant: something's close but I dunno! it's getting closer... closerrrr... HE'S CLOSE! HEEEEE'S REALLLY CLOSE!!
For both of the cases my mind begs me to yell "MAN CUT IT OUT YOU'RE DISTRACTING ME!"
haha that's exactly how it is for me.

i find it that i play much worse when i use it cause of that.
