Muting the sound of a Cloak Spell

As the title indicates, I'd like to be able to mute the sound effect of a cloak spell. Now, I know that there's already a mod or two that does just that (http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/48893/?) but it only affects vanilla cloak spells and I can't seem to reverse engineer how the author did it so I can apply it to a modded cloak spell.

 

Here's some context. I really like the mod Undeath; becoming a lich and such. I also really like the poison spells added by the mod, including the poison cloak which looks to me like a green version of the vanilla lightning cloak. The first person visual effects of the spell obscure the screen and sometimes even make me nauseous, but no big deal there as I was able to figure out how to disable that effect. However, the sound of the spell seems to be the same as the sound applied to the character when hit by frostbite venom or perhaps the vanilla frost cloak, and it's disproportionately loud and lasts for 60 seconds at a time or however long the duration of the spell is, which gets quite tedious.

 

Now, I know how to use Audacity; I've even used it to replace a different annoying vanilla sound effect (wispmother breathing/tinkling) with blissful silence, but I don't know whether replacing the actual sound file from the bsa with silence is necessary in this case or not. I might go ahead and do it while waiting for an answer to this post, but it just seems to me like there should be something in the CK I can do to mute that irritating sound effect!

 

tl;dr How do I mute that damn cloak spell in the CK?

well, since nobody answered, I'll leave this here for anyone else that wants to know how to mute a custom cloak spell, the way I did it anyway: unpack your sound file from the relevant bsa, then open it with audacity and just delete the sound and overwrite. there's got to be a way to do in the CK I'm sure, but this is a brute force attack that works just fine.
