What are those sounds?

When I've been playing the game I've come across some sounds which clearly belong in the game but I can't connect them to any action I've taken or anyone else taken on me, like a buff or debuff or whatever.

The first sounds is the noise of a malfunctioning console. For everyone who's seen the tv-series when a console isn't working properly you know what I mean. Usually happens when I'm on a ground mission and quite frequently.

The other one is the 'red alert' sound from Voyager. It comes on in space. I started hearing it when I hit admiral I think, can't recall hearing it before. It was after a battle, but I had gone to full impulse so there was no one hitting me with anything.

So, any suggestions what these noises are, please let me know! :)

    Outdoor sounds (birds and crickets, and such) play at odd times (indoors and out). lol.

    I haven't noticed such sounds. If it's ground, my guess would be a delayed Weapons Malfunction sound or something like that. Or, in space, maybe a buff or debuff simply running out?

    I believe this is weapons malfunction that you're referring to. Check your weapon, there's probably sparks coming off of it. Depending on where you are, it could be happening pretty often. A lot of the exploration mission species seem to enjoy using it. It could also be your engineer BO using it on an enemy, if you have one.

    not sure what this could be though. if you were still low on health from the battle that might be it but I'm betting you would notice that.

    I guess it could be something wearing off... Makes sense that it would be weapons malfunctions. But it's so random though, the first few times I heard it my computer BSOD'd directly afterwards, but it stopped doing that (freaking bluetooth keyboard drivers).

    Hmm... I think I will have to listen for the sound again, but it would make sense it's somethin wearing off since occured after the battle.

    fyi,

    there are no water sounds. If you run through a stream or a pool of water (liquid) it doesn't make a sound.

    I get alot of weird sounds too!

    Ive had the sound of water when in space before lol!

    I also get a certain sound all the time and its really anoying , the sound is the same sound that you get when you click the ship icon to for your shields. In space this sound is happening all the time.

    Are you sure it's not the tribbles you are hearing? I thought the same thing when I heard it for the first time...

    I get that one all the time in PVP, buddy of mine suggested it might be some sort of timer count on the bases when you're taking them over?
