After settings the Fortnite Sound Effects volume to 0%, you’ll no longer hear the music playing in the Battle Bus. As mentioned, this is not really a great solution because you won’t be able to hear other vital in-game sound effects with the volume off. 

Luckily, the Battle Bus music only plays until you drop into the Fortnite map. If you drop from the Battle Bus at the last possible second, you’ll listen to the song for about 40 seconds. That’s the worst-case scenario.

Let’s say you dislike the current Battle Bus song. Another solution might be playing your own music in the background to drown out the Battle Bus music. Otherwise, you only need to listen to a few seconds of it before you can deploy, so it’s not too painful.
