...or maybe just EQ that frequency out of the mix?

Exactly @ChugKendall ,
Honestly, all players can do this on their own end anyway already.
If any player do not like or get ill/discomfort from any loud deep sound rumblings, bomb blasts, or high screaming sounds from missiles, shots or whatever. Go to your audio settings and tone down the select frequency ranges as you like.
Tinnitus is for the most part triggered for many sufferers by frequencies from 5k Hz and above. So typically setting this down to a reduced level or entirely removing it will help. This is just one of many great apps that can help doing just that on PC:
Standard these days also on most tv/monitor sets and also your headsets.
Like for the PS4/PS5 users, if you use the PS Gold or Platinum headset, the No.2 option allows custom settings through headset manager and you can turn treble ALL the way down which helps with how sharp certain sounds are.
Personally I use the Sennheiser brand, both wired and wireless models for most part comes with a EQ function so you can set the frequency bands to match your personal preference.
Gun shots and explosives that used to flare you up bad will be muted down to the level you define, to enable you also to have some fun in gaming despite the often chronic condition that tinnitus can be.
Changing the frequency range? really?
What if a player does not have the technical knowledge to tone down a very specific range of Hz's (likely most of the community)? Wouldn't it be easier to have an option to disable that effect?

No sorry @rouvio ,
That would not work because the specific frequency range(s) triggering the tinnitus for sufferers are very individual. So one size does unfortunately not fit all, so to speak.
And please, let's not try and overcomplicate the actions involved to change the EQ settings for your speakers or headset. Its part of consumer electronic now since the 1970ties... Most of these have detailed online step by step guides to follow. And these few steps involved to set your sound equalizer settings are honestly much simpler than what it takes to start your BF game and handle your soldier. 🙂
The point is being missed here and quite honestly your replies are being a little aggressively self-confident and assertive. Your perception of right is not necessarily right, and what is simple to you might not be for others. The OP is requesting an option to turn off the sound effect. I'm certainly not overcomplicating anything - on the contrary - having an option to disable that sound effect is much simpler than diving in EQ settings regardless of what year or era the consumer electronic is a part of.
With that said I still respect your comments and thoughts, just ease off a little from the my way or the highway approach brother. Some folks do not think like you and might have various different reasons not to agree with you.
/salute.
