Didn't notice it at first, but while ice mining I kept hearing these beeping noises. I literally looked outside because I thought it was a garbage truck going backwards in the parking lot...but no, it was coming from the game...this could get annoying. It is connected to the "world UI" sound bar.

inb4 "Eve has sound?"

EVE HAS SOUND?!?!?!
It's probably the scanning interface stuff. Try clicking on the scanning button and turning off the overlay.

Did you accidentally park your barge in reverse?

heh heh.

After a few minutes the beeping has stopped, mysteriously.

Either the game has a weird bug or I'm going insane.

Probably the latter.

You're not lol. Last night it was doing it too, before patch. I thought it was a mobile phone or something but couldn't find the device. Then realized it was coming from my puter.

Adjust the limits on alarm notifications for shield, armor, and cap using the option hidden in the HUD display options.

thanks for trying but that's not it. It's much, much quieter than the alarm notifications.

Also, beeping has resumed.

Hmmm.

Wait someone else had that too?

Note - This started before the patch

Huh. Nothing on my end at all.

Oh yeah -- so I'm not crazy.

Well, maybe I am, but not about this. I heard beeping noises a couple of times last night too. They were very clear, showed up randomly and as single beeps. It was not a sound that I have ever heard in the game before.

Remove all sound. EVE is supposed to be played minimised or on a second monitor so you can watch Game grumps.

Is it a short blip at ~1000Hz? I hear it alot when running RR BS in c3 anomalies. Have not figured out what it is..

I have this weird hum after each shield alarm, when my shield regenerates above the threshold it stops. Ugh

There's also that beeping sound when your non-capsuleer interaction timer is about to expire, but that only goes for 5 seconds, and I can't say it sounds anything like the beeping of a truck in reverse.

yeah, im aware of that. (useful sound effect btw)

this beeping is much softer, more subtler. Maybe I'm just being picky but it is bothering me now for some reason. I will just turn the "world UI" sounds down a notch.
