Okay, I double checked this even in smp, in a pack with only minecolonies and only on the server.
Something else must be interfering causing this or its on an old forge.

Not sure how anything else could interfere with this, should be entirely minecolonies internal logic? And I have 43.2.8, IIRC only 43.2.10 is as far as it goes in 1.19.2

Im not sure either. But I tested it in a normal world environment and smp just with minecolonies + dependencies and it worked 100%

Did you change the value also on the server side? I did not try that because of two reasons (1, I assume it should only be needed client side only since it is a client config file per the name, and 2, other players might want the voices)

No, didnt change anything

Odd, I just tested this and it worked fine. Just didnt work when changing it mid run.

I can update to today's alpha and retry, I guess...they are still chattering away

It is a client only setting, I assume, from the file name/location, correct?

yes

Nope
I still hear some "good day to you" when they walk near me when they're going to their homes at night etc.
Forge 43.2.8
minecolonies-1.19.2-1.0.1405-ALPHA.jar

I believe that it might now be the case that they don't idle-chatter,
But they still talk when right-clicked (which seems a bug since the config is to disable voices not 'disable idle voices'?

still happens for me in the existing world (server)
creating a new singleplayer they're silent

I'm wondering if maybe the change won't take effect in existing playthroughs only new colonies? Or maybe only new colonists? Just a thought, maybe they don't 'refresh'.
I saw another person mention it on the discord hence adding a comment as a note
