@8jpg not very familiar with the issue yet I would suggest you to look into playing around equalizers, maybe turning one or another frequency up or down might help.
Not sure if Apex will ever do it because sound effects in this game are either just pure chaos or it was done so intentionally so the visual clutter and hardship spotting an enemy (unless they play Gibby in the polar bear costume) matches the chaos going on in your ears - all those fake sounds, sudden healing sounds in the distance, crazy loud sounds of carepackage dropping miles away etc.
p.s. turn off music and voicelines, which helped me a bit in terms of getting ride of audio clutter.

@Eshshshss I'm totally okay with the noise clutter, it's just those two specific triggering SFX. And yes I've been trying out equalizers and such, my solution was finding one that maps out audio-visually and directionally on the screen, so you could pretty much play with no audio, but people have considered that cheating so it's not as widespread and no real program that's easily accessible. Just wish there was a simple solution :/ changing the SFX would be such an easy fix to everything but I understand that they try to differentiate sounds and usually don't change them. I just wish they didn't use such distorted/ highpitched/ ringing/ dentist drill noises in the first play, it's not pleasing on the ears :c
There's a post about tinnitus on Reddit, talking about the same exact problem with the arena sound, so I know I'm not alone.
I've turned off music and lobby music. If I were to turn off SFX sounds, I think it would get rid of pretty much all sounds in-game (footsteps, gunshots, arena sounds, explosive hold etc), I would only have dialogue left.
