Strange single beep noise at random intervals

[silpholion]

Since 19/4/2024 around 9:30am, there are intermittent, mechanical and slightly high pitched 'beep' sounds from my phone. It is one single beep, and it can happen once or sometimes twice in a row.

I have disabled NFC, turned off scanning of nearby devices, updated my phone software and even switched off my phone the whole night (20/4/2024) but the beeping sound still persists even when I switch on the phone again. Restarting did not help either. Here's a recording - try listening for a very short beep sound at 4 seconds (quite faint when recorded, you might have to crank up the volume).

I am not sure what's happening but the frequency is driving me nuts. It is still happening at intervals. I've lodged a report via the Members app but in the meantime, if anyone has faced this issue and found a workaround or what's causing it, I would really appreciate your input and help!

I was having a similar issue. Weirdly it would start when I opened snap chat but occasionally would beep after closing snap chat.  Turned off NFC and beeping stopped. Turned back on and started in snap chat. Removed my bank card from wallet and it stopped with SC open. Touch bank card to back of phone and beeped and pulled away and stopped. But only in SC. Can you explain what's going on?  Should I not have my card in the wallet phone case? I'd hate that bc I don't want to carry a purse!

Thank you for the safe mode suggestion, im getting a constant tone and in safe mode it's showing as "New tag scanned" and a series of numbers, that change evertime, this is literally every second. and just started about 15 minutes ago.  Help!

That was my case! I was going crazy for 2 weeks, I 've read that the reason of beeping can be water that got inside and I recently soaked my phone under the rain, so I was waiting for it to evaporate. And only now AI told me to check if I have NFC card near the phone and I did have it in the pocket of my case 🤦 Resolved by completely removing it from the case.

What a shame that Samsung notifications did not show pop-up with NFC contact! And I could not guess myself because before I was carrying other cards for months and they never beeped.

What was the app you removed that was making the sound?

Thanks a lot. I was annoyed for so much time with this, only to have a so stupid issue. 😆

I ended up searching why I had this random sound. You helped a lot.

Kudos!

I would have never thought of that, but it is exactly what is happening to me.  I have a phone case that I carry my card in all the time and as soon as I removed the cards, the beeping stopped!  Thank you for figuring this one out!
