Constant beeping

SystemSystem Member, NoReporting Posts: 178,019 Arc User
It would be nice if there was a way to stop the constant beeping that is often heard while in space environments. It seems worse in populated areas, pvp matches, DSE's, ESD, etc. but it can happen almost anywhere.

It's the same sound you hear when you redistribute your shields. But it does it at random intervals without you as a player touching anything. Sometimes it can be sporadic and do several beeps, sometimes they happen more spaced apart, and other times they seem to happen on a set interval, like every 2 seconds you'll hear the beep.

I know I am not alone in this, I just asked in zone if there's a way to turn it off, and others said they hear it a lot as well.

    Did you check in the Audio Options section for controls for different types of other noises?

    I am not sure where that specific item might be since I don't hear it.

    there's ind a option to turn that off, sadly you turn off some other sounds to :/ if i'm not mistaken "i'll edit my post, i check later" its the interface sound slider option, set that to "0" (off) and that sound will be gone aswell as the rest of your interface sound. :/

    It is just some bug that causes it to beep at random? Of course I would expect it to make the sound when I do redistribute my shields, just not at random other times :D

    I'll turn the interface sounds to zero, i'd rather not hear any of them than to hear the constant beeping for no reason. Annoying because I do like audible feedback, but I'll make due.

    It's a bug introduced with season 3.

    There are so many things wrong with this game I don't even know where to start. After coming back to it, and leveling my two RAs up to VAs, it makes me really miss the quality and attention to detail that Blizzard has.

    That beeping is strange. It seems I hear the sound feeedback of the OTHER PLAYERS. Especially when I hear a Photonic officer activation.

    Agreed..

    With every patch and bug fixed they bring 2 new ones.. and then they hang around for months, there are so many bugs in this game that have been there from launch day... Just look at Kerrat with the borg sticking in things so you cant shoot them, but they can shoot you, used to be really bad then they kinda fixed it, still happens though.. and its been a YEAR !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and thats just 1 bug...

    Im sorry, but you should fix what you have before you add more.. Id rather skip a feature ep or two to get rid of the bugs.. and im sure most others would too.

    cryptic make more bugs than they fix... it's becoming a real pain.
