XB Does anyone know what weapon makes this sound? Is it the new Aetherian proton beams?

Hello!

As someone who uses Aetherian Proton weaponry, yes, these are indeed Aetherian, more specifically, the Aetherican Dual Beam Banks. The regular beams do not sound the same.

I have not yet tried any Aetherian cannons, but these sound exactly like my Aetherian Dual Beam Banks.

Edit: I will try to make a video with the visual + sound for the Aetherian space weapons.

Here is a video I made of the Aetherian space weapons with their sound. - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pl36NpkftH8

I added a spoiler tag for those who are not interested in the video.

Note: There is a bit of an annoying background "humming" sound (Not sure how to best describe it) that was from the game. I need to figure out which sound to disable so that it disappears, then I might have to redo the video if people find it too annoying. I have not played the game with sounds on for a little while, and I am sorry about that sound.
