Has anyone noticed that the Galaxy Tab 10.1 creates a white noise sound whenever the web browser loads anything [see edit below]? It is the weirdest thing - I thought I was losing my mind at first or spent too many hours listening to loud music, but it happens day after day, even after reboots and a hard reset.
EDIT: noise happens anytime audible selection is enabled in settings and I make a screen tap / selection. Thanks, jweather, for helping me narrow it down.
Go in your settings, sound and turn audible selection off by unchecking it and see if the issue goes away. On my model there's a high pitch whine or ring of some sort when the screen is pressed, turning off audible selection fixes the issue.
Please let me know if it works.
yEa there is another thread with the same issue, i noticed it on my 32gb i picked up today but dont remember it ever on my 16gb i had since the 8th. I will double check later at home
Thanks for confirming, guys. Will do some checks later tonight with audible selection on and off.

I just confirmed my first tab from the 8th (locked bootloader, white 16gb) does indeed have the high pitch noise
just wondering if this is a wide spread issue since we seem to be the only three that noticed it. I swapped mine out yesterday but haven't had a chance to check it, later today i will do so and let you guys know.

no there is at least 2 other threads regarding this topic. and I have had this on 3 different tabs that I have had in my possession
This is normal, unfortunately. When you have audible presses selected, it engages the sound mode and plays the .wav file. Once the file is done playing, it stays engaged for a sec or two later before turning off.

Very interesting. Was able to replicate the behavior you are seeing by testing with and without audible selection. Sure enough, the tab makes the high pitch noise only when audible selection is toggled. When it is off, it does not make the noise. This happens regardless of volume and I noticed the noise will occur outside of the browser too, so pretty much anytime a selection would normally play a sound. Only difference for me is that I can't trigger the sound by simply touching anywhere on the screen - for me it has to be when I make a selection and activate that click tone.

When I'm on the phone with the Cingular 8525, I would randomly hear some kind of soft typing/clicking noise through the speaker.. I tried talking on the phone with my bluetooth headset and I still hear the damn noise!
Anyone else experience this?
possible screen tap sound from your cheek or something in your pocket (when using bluetooth) touching the screen? turn off screen tap sounds and see if it goes away.
I hear the same thing when I'm driving down the Pennsylvania Turnpike... It just may be one of the reasons I return this phone... Never had this issue w/ my other phone.

I used to get various clicks/sounds, which were meant to be there but annoying until I turned off event sounds etc.

nah, my screen tap sounds are off, and im 100% sure im not touching the screen causing it to press buttons.. also with my bluetooth the phone can be sittin on my desk and i still hear the faint clicking/type writer noises
this is really starting to annoy me.. i'm really wondering if this is a problem with teh 8525's or if its just my phone thats defected

I'm not aware of this being reported by others, except for a couple on this thread. So if event sounds are of and no apps running like push mail then I would think it's a faulty device.
Just for info you described the noise but I'm not clear whether this is an occasional sound or a more or less continuous noise. I'm afraid this device when you get a good one is briliant but there is a high number of flakey ones out there. Warranty return??

I'm on my second one and it seems to be on a certain strip along the Pennsylvania Turnpike that this persists... Anyone else still experiencing something like this?

You're probably well aware of this but just in case. Turning of screen tap sounds is not the same as turning off event sounds. Event sounds can be heard for all sorts of reasons including taping screen i.e when application starts to open but also as for example a wifi network is detected and any other event like switching from 3g etc etc.

My unit just started that weird rhythmic clicking sound this Friday. I've had the unit for a month. I get the noise in all places I've used the phone - all around the city.
The clicks happen in pairs, 1 pair roughly per second. A sequence of these pairs lasts between 3 and 10 iterations. Then a break the length of one pair and off they go again.
I too have done a soft reset and stopped all apps running. The clicking persists.
In hte last month or so I notice that I have a noise "Dink" when I use my phone. This is either thru history button it dinks to redial some one that earlier called me it dinks... any ideas this can drive me crazy... I checked all of my settings and cannot find a setting or reason why it does this.
Thanks

I have also been plagued by a mysterious 'dink' sound. I haven't taken the time to properly nail down the cause but if you change your devices' sound profile you may find that the 'dink' will stop....
It hasn't bothered me enough to concentrate on but I would be interested in learning the root cause.
---- oh, it may also be related to whether a bluetooth headset is 'engaged' or not.
Cheers
Imm-o
I am in the same boat. Mine just started about a week ago. The "dink" occurs for me when I hit talk (hard key) when calling someone and when ending a call with the end hard key. It also happens when I use the end hard key to go back to the today screen. I noticed previously (before the "dink" appeared)that there was a subtle noise (quiet beep) when performing these functions, and now it seems to be exaggerated into the "dink" noise. Also, recently my phone started going to standby when I would connect to a call. This started at the same time as the "dink" noise. Strangely, now the phone does not go to standby anymore, but still has that aweful noise. It is slightly irritating.
I have recently upgraded S2U2, S2P, added UI Tweak & Opera Mini. I'm not sure if it really has anything to do with those programs, but thought I would mention it.
I haven't changed any things setting or uploaded any programs. What is strange I went thru all my settings and listened for the same sound and it is not on the list at all. So its a self generated sound. Irritating at the best. So whom on this forums can think of a fix? I know its a Sprint plot to take over our phones..... hehehehehehe

Likewise, pisses me off too. I press buttons by mistake and my phone keeps making the same noise...but it kind of warns me that i hit something when I didnt plan to...still annoying
I think immorion is right. I had it too. Turned off bluetooth for a while, no more 'dink'.
Does anyone know if there's a way to disable the camera shutter sound? I was unable to find it in the camera app settings (thank god, since that means it wouldn't save anyway...), and I didn't see it by going through Settings>Camera. Anyone have any luck trying to turn this sound off?
I don't think it's possible right now and may never be officially since there are laws in many countries that mandate audible clicks while taking pictures. Once hacked, there may be a possibility.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who's looking for a solution. It's very loud and disruptive when I'm trying to catch my dogs playing or sneak a pic of my wife doing something silly. I really hope somebody finds a solution for this soon.
Hello, i just bought my focus yesterday and just found out if you lower the volume all the way to zero it doesnt have a shutter sound. Hope that helps, its not a good solution but something.

OK so i was intrigued that people got to do it but i couldn't........so i restarted the phone and I was able to do it dont know why sometimes it makes the sound and why some times it dosent.........microsoft has problems with sound for a wile....so maybe they will fix this soon.....I will keep testing to see what program makes it go erratic
this worked for me
Hey everybody, I've been trying to get around the issue for a while myself and found this: karnicki.eu/?p=10 for the omnia7. It did the trick for me and whenever I set the phone to silent the shutter stays in STFU mode! I fiddled with the sound settings before but it might be something magical about the 1000/-1000 combo. Please test and confirm.
Pause song, turn volume all the way down
Simple "Fix" is to start a song in zune, then to pause said song and to also turn down the volume to zero (0). This keeps the shutter from playing but only as long as you have a paused song in zune.
once there is a file manager hack for the phone, you should be able to just delete the sound file for that one specific sound. Thats what i did on my iphone along w/ the stupid SMS sent sound.
Put the volume all the way down to Zero, turn it off, turn it on, then it should be gone. It worked for me
just got the Samsung tab yesterday and I noticed when I was setting it up I kept hearing a ringing sound every time i touched the screen. After I was done with the initial setup I was still hearing it. I then went into the setting and turned off audible selection and it went away, turned it on again and it came right back. Is anyone else experiencing this? can someone test this out and let me know so I can take it back if need be? turn the volume all the way down, turn on audible selection, put your ear near the speaker and tap anywhere on the screen.
Well I went to best buy yesterday to exchange the tablet hoping I just got a defect but when I went over to the demo table they had both white and metallic models and I put the speaker to my ear (because it impossible to hear anything in the store with everything going on) made sure Audible selection was Checked, tapped the screen and there it was on both models. The best buy employee head it as well and said "dude I don't know what to tell you" then just so happen a samsung rep was there promoting the tablet, he heard it as well and took my email address and said he will get back to me.
Can someone please give this a try and let me and everyone else know if this is a problem or the store just got a bad patch?
I think most people just don't notice it because they turn off the audible selection or the room isn't quite.
yea I noticed that too with my 32gb i picked up today but not with my 16gb i had since the 8th
I will confirm when i get home
EDIT
I just confirmed my first tab from the 8th (locked bootloader, white 16gb) does indeed have the high pitch noise
thanks for the reply, I guess they all have this issue. If the Samsung rep does get back to me (i wont hold my breath) ill post the outcome.
Do you think this can be fixed via update?
Other then that I love the tablet, its just the little things that annoy me.
I think it's the vibration motor for haptic feedback.maybe not
I know exactly what it is and it's not that big of a deal. It's the sound file for the audible selection. I turn that off to save battery life, anyway. As far as fixing, not going to happen.
I think the sound problem is on software side. As allready said i think its a corrupted sound file for the selection sound...
Is it possible to replace this sound file with a fixed one ?
at some point of the day i noticed my notification sound no longer working.
I got all the msgs on my notification but with out sound.
turning off and on didnt fix. only the battery pull worked.
it happened like every once a day. some times I have to do battery pull twice a day.
I had this phone for a wk now.
anyone having notification sound issue?
even the turn off screen and on sound muted.
There's a few bugs, nougat is brand new, they'll fix things. My headphone kept buzzing one time until a restart
Its not just you. And I don't think its exactly something to do with Android 7.0
If you look at how your audio menu is when you change the ringer volume, you'll see that when the phone is set to vibrate, it actually MUTES the other two sliders.. it doesn't set them to vibrate. With that in mind, it seems more likely LG has a bug, than Android 7.0 having a bug.
Having this problem as well with my H910 (AT&T). It's very frustrating indeed. What's even worse is that it seems sporadic in nature, sometimes I will get a notification chime, sometimes I won't. As skyedream said, a battery pull is the only way to get consistent notification sounds, if only temporarily.
I think I get this too. Often I pull my phone out of pocket to find I had a text that I never heard.
Sent from my LG-H918 using XDA-Developers mobile app
I had this problem too yesterday where it was just frozen. Did a restart and all seemed ok after. First time that happened.
This happens to me as well. Also, I will get double notification sounds at times. Like an echo. Or, a different sound mixed with my selected sound. A reboot fixes. Have to do it a couple times a day. Very annoying.
No sound for notifications + no web video playback
I also have same issue with notifications. No pattern on what causes this, but a reboot gets rid of this (just for sometime! and the problem is back). I have also noticed apps not working smoothly and unable to play web videos including from Youtube app and Facebook App. Overall, tad disappointed with the software quality on this set.

Good call, thanks! I also notice that even though I have Sound Settings-Volume-Touch & Feedback sounds Off, I still get haptic feedback vibration on keyboard while typing this reply to you. It goes away when I go into Sound Settings-Vibration Strength, & turn slider off for Vibrate on tap. The Settings software isn't connecting the overall Volume Profile with the Vibrate Strength settings it seems. I don't know enough to know whether this is Android or LG. Under Vibrate Strength you can control notifications too, though haven't yet tested. Hope this helps til it gets fixed.

I just tested texting...even though on quick settings slider notifications for text are grayed out, while call setting show vibrate only, in the full settings menu, under Vibrate Strength, you can slide the vibration strength up...I did this, sent myself a text, and phone vibrated the notification. I think it's messed up that I can't shut my call notification off completely, including nvibrate quickly with volume key or quick settings. Have to go into full settings menu sound & select silent. Please fix this Android/LG.

Ya, I have the exact same problem... (I have a H990DS)
I can't seem to even fix it with a reboot.
I have emailed LG about the problem - we'll see what they say...

I experience the same as you. I usually clear regents and then hit restart and all my notification sounds come back and videos. I'm just wondering, are you using any type of ad blocker? I use the ad block browser and I've noticed that whenever I open my browser, that's when my notifications get muted.
Issue resolved after update
Hi, looks like this issue is resolved with the update I got in January 2017 end. But not sure what caused it to fail in first place. But as of now, all is well after the update. Cheers!
I still have this problem over here on T-Mobile. Very annoying.
Anyone ever find a fix? Having these issues on a new LG V20 US Unlocked connected to Verizon.
Bumping this to see if anyone has found a solution to this. My V10 started muting notifications when the ringer volume was set to vibrate on one of its later updates. I figured it was a glitch in my phone since I didn't see anyone else complaining about it. This was one of the reasons i decided to upgrade to a V20. I was pretty surprised that it did the exact same thing and it's apparently by design. Who in their right mind would think this was a good idea?
I'm not sure of the cause, but I had many calendar reminder alarms fail to sound over several days when I got this V20. I tried different calendar apps and ended up with one called aCalendar. It works OK most of the time, but there is still a serious issue. If ANY other kind of notification happens to sound right when a calendar alarm needs to sound, the calendar will NEVER sound its reminder notification for the alarm. I've had this happen several times with incoming text or social networking message notifications. I hear those, and then the subsequent alarm that should have sounded concurrently is silent. I've had to set 2 reminders for the same important event, spaced 10 minutes apart, to try to reduce the odds of this issue hijacking an important notification. I've not seen this exact problem ever before on any Android device. My US Unlocked V20 is 100% stock. No idea what to do about it. But from what I can glean online, neither LG nor Verizon plan to push any future updates on the V20, so we're stuck.
For contact selecting unique notification tones that actually stopped working
I got this LG v20 and I loved it...still do....but... how do I keep certain text notification tones thst i select to not change back to default?...on its own? Crazy. I use zedge ap to download ringtones n notification tones. Maybe there is an issue there?
@Dkb123,
If you could please add some punctuation to your post, it might be easier to read so someone can understand your problem and help you .
I am using a rooted HTC One m10 with Viper ROM and am having the same problem. Echos notification noises, turns off alarm and notification sounds, and it is beyond annoying. I have already had to reset it twice to try to fix it and nothing has worked. I have no idea what is causing it but when I try to open my alarm app it says it was disabled and could have been caused by a system time change (which didnt happen) or battery saving (where I have it whitelisted). I will try disabling my ad-blocker. I'm not sure how those things could be connected but since it was suggested I will give it a go. I am consulting all of the developers I know about this but so far nobody has an answer. I am kind of starting to freak out because I need my phone to work. I have 3 kids under the age of 6 in school and need to know when someone has to get in touch with me. Before the last reset, I also saw that when my notification was disabled and I went back in to reenable it, it had been switched back to the sound I had selected the time before that. One more note. When I go in to check my notification noises, all of them, my ringer, notifications, and alarm, are all blank for about one half second before they repopulate and then show the correct tones. If it were as simple as it being my ROM someone would have posted it on the thread because it is a pretty big problem to have gone unnoticed. Is it possible we are all running an app or have a shared setting that is causing this to happen to only us. I had to dig pretty hard to find this thread in the first place. It might help if we posted a list of our apps, what do you guys think?

Hi. You posted this in the wrong area. This is for the LG V20. Try searching the HTC One M10 area for a solution. Someone there might be able to help you.
