There is a horrible high pitched whining sound whenever in space in my caldari shuttle (not in station or quarters).... I can't really add much else to it. It's a shocking sound.

So far my navy issue raven isn't doing it.

Also a description of the sound:

A good way to describe it actually is to right click in space and then just endlessly scroll your mouse over the menu options. That's what it sounds like.

Maybe it's the "timer warning sound"? After some rats aggressed me I got this 5 minutes timer which unleashes this horrible, screeching, high pitched sound every time my session changes. It's horrible!

There's been a few other reports of this. Glad I'm not insane. When I first heard it I honestly though my computer's power supply was in trouble or my speakers were picking up interference. :/

I've noticed this issue as well, it seems to only happen when your up close to your own ship. I'm using an Amarr Shuttle at the moment and It's doing it.

Eve at the moment is probably better without sound lol

Same issue here, since last patch.
Zooming out a bit helps.

Same issue. Only happens in shuttles for me.

The sound is... how can I describe it? Like having a loud, brain scrambling form of tinnitus. And I already have tinnitus. And this is worse.

How did you Veterans start?

Also having the same problem here. When zoomed in close to ship (shuttle i tested it with) get a constant very high pitched sound, that slightly oscilates, but when you zoom out it fades out to nothing when about 5k away from your ship, but will then comes back when zooming in.

Just tested this in more detail and for me it stops 90 seconds after undocking in a gallente shuttle. The sound is around the 13KHz mark and the volume of it can be adjusted with the 'World Level' volume slider.

Signed.

Strangely enough, while some ships emit this very annoying hissing noise, others don't. Of the few ships that I've tried

the ones that do: Velator, Incursus, Tristan, Brutix, Iteron IV
the ones that don't: Viator, Catalyst, Obelisk, Skiff

On a side note, the one new jump gate sound is also screwy. Not only is it mono, it is also very high-pitched.

It's extremely faint in the video. But I could hear it.

This is obviously an issue for many players and deserves a response from CCP I think.
