Every so often my Droid 2 will start to play a very annoying sound. The sound is difficult to describe, it starts low then goes high then starts going high and low rapidly.
This sound will start to play seemingly for no reason. I'm curious to know what it signifies. More importantly, I want to know how to disable it!
I was describing this problem to a co-worker whose girlfriend has a Droid 2, he seemed to think his girlfriend has experienced a similar phenomenon.
Can anyone help me solve the mystery?
Thanks.

go through your alert sounds and find which file it is. This will help us to know the default sound for the setting that is causing this issue.
Maybe it's trying to warn you of impending doom!

So I checked every available alert, ringtone, noise, etc. and I was not able to find a playable file that matches the noise I've experienced.
I guess since no one else has had a similar problem, I'll classify this as an unsolved mystery.

Is anyone else having issues with call quality after going up to EB01? I am noticing all kinds of new static noise that was never present before...
Yes... Everyone is telling me that I have buzzing sound or sound very far away. Nobody has told me this while I am using my Bluetooth in car though.
I have noticed the same thing.

My Zoom has started making a loud clicking noise intermittently. Not related to touching the screen. Just a loud click now and then. Almost like a static discharge. Not related to volume settings. Anyone else have this? Any ideas?

It starts clicking right before it grabs you!
I had that and used to restart my Xoom to get rid of it, then disappeared after sometime and don't know how

Looks like another fanboy post? A cockroach got inside during installation, you'll have to return your xoom and buy an ipad 2 ?????
The only way you'll take my Xoom is to pry it from my cold dead hands. But I'm just wondering how best to kill the cockroach!
Mine just started doing this today. I really dont want to have to exchange it for a new one at best buy, thats such a hassle!
i think it's because you are running overclocked. Minw started this after I clocked it to 1.5ghz, set it to 1.2 and no longer does this.
My Epic 4G just recently started doing this intermittently over the past week or two. I'm guessing that it is related to some app that I installed, but I haven't been able to track it down yet.
Mine was doing the same a day or two back sounded like the speakers were clicking for no reason at all, i'm running stock with no hacks or anything of the kind.
Happens to me everytime I run FPSE, doesn't go away until I restart Xoom.
I had this same issue. 2 things I have tracked it down to. Rockplayer pausing a movie. And trillian. I had to uninstall trillian as itwas driving me crazy.

Mine is not rooted and it does it at times. I have to restart the device. I wonder how many other people have this problem.

I had this happen only one time. I was using Remote Desktop from Xtralogic one night and it started making a weird clicking or electrical discharge noise. It sounded like it was coming from the speaker.
I finished my work that night on our server and turned off the Xoom. Never had it happen since.
My Xoom is rooted and overclocked to 1.4Ghz. Most of its use is Remote Desktop, ConnectBot, QuickSSHd and Kindle.

Yeh mine was doing it today, couldn't figure out what was going on. Prob just a software glitch or something causing the speakers to pop.

often happens to me after running some media players like upnpplayer
Did you force close or clear data from some media app running in the background? One or the background items tracks built in ringtones and wiping data will make it forget the factory ringtones. Maybe it's clicking because it's no longer playing a proper audio file?
You'll have to make it rebuild itself somehow if that's the case. Mine fixed itself after a reboot or two.
Every now and then, when opening an app or using the system buttons at the bottom, a very short "click" noise comes from the speaker. I have my N4 on silent/vibrate all the time and it is not an operating system noise that's meant to be there because its random. The best way to describe it is that it seems like the phone is "accidentally" starting to play a sound then stopping because its realised its in silent mode.
Anyone else getting this? Views on this problem?
(It happened again as I was typing this, so it happens through the the keyboard key presses as well)

Media Volume
Maybe you have to turn down the media volume.
I don't have a nexus 4, but I do get that random click noise on my incredible s as well, and from many different roms. I am not sure what it is, though.
Key press noise in settings turn it off may stop it the Gnex had this issue and still does

I get that click noise occasionally on my HTC HD2.
Running PACMAN 4.1.2 Jellybean at the moment.
I had this issue as well. I just turned off touch sounds and all is well.
I should note that I have keyboard sounds enabled and I do not experience the random clicking noise.
It seems to be isolated to the enabling of touch sounds, whether on vibrate or any audible volume.

I have the autofocus rattle issue as well. But I rarely if ever would shake my phone like that.
At this point I am just grateful that I got my phone, let alone got my phone earlier than projected. There are a lot of people that would love to hear the rattling of the autofocus on their N4.

Power Management
Ok... I think this is correct,
The audio chip like most other IC's are entering power saving mode milliseconds after you hear any audio so the small click is the powering up and down of the audio hardware... Many phones do this and many people don't notice it.
It's quite normal but if you have very good hearing it might bother some more then others.

It seems like a touch sound issue.
Make sure you've got touch sounds turned off by going:
Settings > Sound > Touch Sounds (disable the checkbox)
Every time I answer a call, the person on the other line does not hear me if I speak as soon as I answer the call. Is any one else having this? I have to call someone, wait till they pick up, say hello, hello. They catch the second hello every time. I can't help but think this is not normal.
This is not an issue of the case or bumper as I do not change the level of my voice when this happens.
I have excellent call quality. I do not have the buzz or the mute issue. I do not have any call quality issues at all.
I started another thread to discuss the issue I am having. Mods, feel free to move the responses into here and delete my other thread.

ok... I thought I was the only one having this issue. I have to say hello twice all the time. I just thought I was too quick to say hello, but it's been driving me crazy!
also, it happens regardless of the ROM I'm running. I guess I just have to get used to pausing for a few seconds when I answer the phone before saying hello... or just keep saying hello twice
I also had the same problem with my GNex on AT&T. I'm just now used to taking a breath after answering before saying anything.
I'm having this problem as well. I don't hear them neither do they hear me for about 4 seconds.

This happens to me on t-mo..happened on my GS2 as well. I noticed that if you wait until you hear the unlock sound after answering the call they can hear you.
Yes noticed in my nexus 4 after i got it, its kinda annoying, i want it fixed!
I also do have the buzzing in the phone, but its really low only hear it when theres no sound, doesnt really bother me...

HAHA I really thought I was the only one with this problem. Do any of you guys get random hanging up? Like you know FOR SURE you have good reception and that you never touched the end call but the phone hangs the call up anyway once in awhile.
having the same problem with the call delay as well, on ATT. the Gnex didn't do this
I have the problem but it is only for a split second so if I just wait a sec before saying something it works as it should.
Ok this is odd as I have the same problem and thought it was due to my using Groove IP or Talkatone. It sounds like it may be a hardware issue or a JB issue.
This is a very concerning problem. I hope it is fixed ASAP.
looks like a sw issue ....had the same on my Samsung Spica i5700 which was fixed by the devs on samdroid
Same issues! What the heck!

Very annoying. In the end it is a phone, what on earth it can't do it right on the basic function as a phone. Hope more people raise the concern and push Google to fix that. Otherwise RMA is on the way.
Yep happens to me also, hopefully will be fixed soon but not a big issue.

Hi there
First some specs:
Nexus 4
PA3.99-RC2
Franco.kernel.plus 188.
SuperSU root
Latest gapps
I have tried asking in the the Paranoid Android Google+ discussion forum, but no useful answers yet. This is x-posted in general Q&A forum as well, to see if other devices also have this.
The problem:
When I use my phone I get random glitchy/clicky sounds from the top speaker (I'm pretty sure it's from there). It's a very quick glitch/click, and then it stops. It doesn't happen in a specific pattern, meaning that it's not like it comes whenever I press the back button or anything - it just happens sometimes. Sometimes more often than other. When I try to recreate the sounds (tapping a lot of menus, settings, apps, etc.) I find it difficult to recreate. It is REALLY random, perhaps mostly after I haven't used my phone for a while, and I turn it on!
Have anyone tried this, and knows a solution? It didn't annoy me at first, but now it really does.
As far as I remember it started when I upgraded to PA3.99. However, I have tried RC-1 and RC-2 and I have also tried stock kernel, Hellscore kernel and different Franco-kernel versions.

Just like you, I've noticed the noise but it sounds to me like its coming from the loud speaker. It doesn't happen that often and its hard to reproduce the sound (like you said). By the way I'm complete stock/unrooted with a lock bootloader. Hopefully its a software glitch and not hardware since the speakers don't sound busted.

Okay, it sounds like it could be the same thing. I don't think my speakers are busted either.. I guess the sound would come more often if that was the case.
It could be from the loud speaker.. Because it's so hard to reproduce, I can't really test it.
I would just love for it to go away.
Unfortunately I've never tested this phone with any other ROM other than 4.3 (Jwr66y) so I don't even know if it's a software glitch. Hopefully it is though.

Since we're experiencing what seems to be the same thing; I would think it most likely is a software thing. But I don't understand why - and why there isn't more people reporting this.....which makes me think I've done something wrong, hence the cry for help
Maybe some people don't notice it. It's not that much noticeable. The first few times I heard it I thought I was hearing things.
