I'm trying to make a gun play a sound for the client first, then for the server to reduce replication lag. This however causes the 2 sounds to overlap, so I'm trying to make the sound play for everyone else on the server-side, except for the client.

How can I play a sound for everyone in the server except for the client?

Put 2 different sounds for client and server. Then, turn the volume to 0 on the server one with the LocalScript.
You should just make a remote function/event that goes to all clients and ignore the player firing it; I feel like that's the best way to do it unless if you really want to do it on the server.

for _, player in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do if player.UserId ~= blacklistedUserId then noiseEvent:FireClient(player) end end
Either send the signal to only the other players or send a playername and if localplayername is the playername then ignore

this causes a double effect which is what im not looking for, thanks for helping though!
I got some solutions that might not work. Create 2 separate sounds for the client and server or turn the volume to 0 on one.
this might actually work... let me get on studio
the turn on volume 0 for the server sound on the localscript was the one that worked! due to your help, I was able to also implement serversided flash fx and many other things. YOU are a legend!!!!!!
