Random water droplet sound effect on iPhone 4S?

For the last few days, my iPhone 4S has been making a sound that's like a droplet of water falling into a sink. It's at random times, and it's not a notification for anything (and isn't even an option in my sounds menu). Anyone know why that's happening?

Thanks!! I don't have the Skype app on my phone, but I do have Life360 and I remember there being an update for it a couple weeks ago. I think that's when I started getting the sound effect issues now that I think about it, so that corresponds with what the others in that thread were saying. Thanks so much for the information; I feel quite relieved knowing what the source is!

  • IPhone makes a random water drop sound through out the day. All notifications are turned off? Not sure what the cause is.

    My iPhone randomly makes a sound like a drop of water into a puddle.  I've turned off all notifications and it till does it.  Any suggestions?

    Do you have an app called Life360?

  • Where is "Sound Effects" option in Iphone?

    On my ipod touch I have an option under "sounds" the "sound effects" and under that option I have 1.Speaker 2.Headphones.3 Both.............Where do I find these in iphone? Thanks

    From page 118 of http://manuals.info.apple.com/enUS/iPod_touch_3.1_UserGuide.pdf
    "Note: On the first-generation iPod touch, choose General > Sounds and select whether you want sound effects to play over the internal speaker, through the headphones, or both."

  • IPhone 5c muting specific sound effect in a video I made.

    I have run in to an oddly specific quirk of my new iPhone. I made a video for county library to use promoting their summer reading program. I used short bits of static as a transitional device (think Robot Chicken). The static sound will simply not play on my iPhone. It doesn't matter if I am playing it from a local file on the phone, or streaming from youtube. The very same files will play fine on any given computer.
    Anyone know what is going on and how I can correct it?

    Oh, and just as icing on the cake, the sound effect is an Apple sound effect from the Soundtrack Pro effect library.

  • Random sound coming from iphone 5s

    Twice today my iphone 5s has made a sound randomly. A sound that isn't even a choice I have to assign to any notification, etc. Can anyone tell me what my phone is trying to tell me?

    Well, if you've tried everything, then there's nothing to do but to bring your phone into Apple for evaluation.

  • I updated my iPad to iOS7 and since then my iPad2 does not have sound (says no SOUND EFFECT). I already got it checked by Genius Bar who say that it is not a software problem.

    Have done all suggested things including toggle and change in settings. Still it keeps showing a bell (which shows sound effects) but does not enable change of sound / sound in apps.
    On Saturday, 3rd may2014 I got an appointment with Genius Bar at WEST 14th street NYC which initially said that this looks like settings issue. So they reset my iPad settings.
    When this did not work, they also reloaded the iOS. Even that did not solve the problem. They conveyed that this is a hardware problem and thus they can solve this (except for replacement for which they will charge $250 for an iPad 2.)
    However the ringer sound is coming perfect ( the sound is not available in any of the apps but the same speaker works for ringer).
    HOW IS THAT SUPPOSED TO BE A HARDWARE PROBLEM THEN? ALSO WHY CAN APPLE NOT CHANGE THE SPEAKERS?
    When I conveyed that this is APPLE specific issue, they flatly denied and conveyed that there are NO such cases. When I offered to show it on Aple community, they say THIS HAPPENS TO ONLY A SMALL MINORITY AND IS NOT CONSIDERED A "KNOWN ISSUE".
    I HAD GONE AT THE SAME TIME FOR CHANGING MY IPHONE's speaker (for that too, they said that they can only replace my phone with a hefty payment rather than changing the speakers).
    THIS AMPLY SHOWED THAT THEY HAD NO INTENTION OF SERVICING THE INSTRUMENTS AND THEY WERE ONLY THINKING OF HOW TO INCREASE SALES BY DRAWING ON THE OLD INVENTORY.
    SHOWS RIDICULOUS ATTITUDE OF APPLE.

    After I upgraded to Mavericks I was also having this message when I tried to update. There was a previous post about this problem which offered this simple solution which worked for me:

    Got it! Thanx.  What I did was go to my account, check that they had my new ID and Password which they did, then hit reset button. All fixed.

  • Sound is not working properly ? The volume button keeps saying sound effects when it's pressed .

    Sound is not working at all now , when you press the volume button it says sound effects but nothing is happening

    Hello Hartnett01,
    Thank you for the details you provided regarding your audio issue you are experiencing on your iPad.  I found a couple of resources that I think might help. 
    First, I recommend following steps in the following tutorial to address an issue like this (you can skip step 2 "Recharge iPad" because it's not related to this issue):

  • My sound effects aren't working, how do I get them to work again?

    On my iPad my sounds effects aren't working and it's on loud. I've been into music but it won't let me change the volume. It's just dark grey and won't let me touch it. Also the volume control on the side when I put it onto loud the sound effect pops up in the grey box but doesn't let me change the volume there either... I've also been through the settings and cannot find anything or anywhere where it will let me change the volume manually or invade it had been turned off by accident. I can't listen to music or hear when it goes off!!!
    PLEASE HELP!

    Is it still paired to a bluetooth device?
    Is it connected to an AirPlay device?
    This is for iPhone but still applies to iPad:

  • How do I remove the "whoosh" sound effect?

    I recently downloaded OS X Mountain Lion and I like the added features but I'm getting annoyed by what seems to be random "whoosh" noises. How can I disable this sound effect? Thanks a bunch! kmart69

    Try this System Preferences>Sounds>Sound Effects tab and deselect 'Play user interface sound effects'.
    If it's in Mail go to Mail>Preferences>General tab and you can control sounds there (independently of the above suggestion).
    I expect other applications may also have there own Sound Preferences that can be modified on an app to app basis.

  • My volume button became sound effects, no sound at all

    Can anyone help me with my ipad2, my button volume became Sound Effects label, and my iPad has no sound at all.

    Hello Skeetercove,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Please follow the steps below to troubleshoot the issue of having no audio output from your iPad's speakers.  Please note that even though the steps state it's for iPhone, the same applies to your iPad.
    Verify that the volume is set to a level you would normally be able to hear.
    Ensure that there is nothing plugged in to the headset jack or the dock connector.
    If the iPhone is in a protective case, make sure that the speaker port isn't blocked by the case.
    Make sure that the speaker and dock port aren't clogged with debris. If necessary, clean it with a clean, small, dry, soft-bristled brush. Carefully and gently brush away any debris.
    If an audio issue occurs when using a specific application, try testing other applications to see if the issue persists.
    If the iPhone is paired with a Bluetooth headset or car kit:
    Try turning off Bluetooth.
    If you experience difficulties with the Bluetooth feature, follow these troubleshooting steps.
    Restart the iPhone.
    If restarting doesn't fix the issue, ensure that your iPhone is updated to the latest version of iOS.
    If the issue is not resolved, please contact Apple Support.

  • My iPad just randomly stopped having sound and will not shut down only restart.

    my iPad just stopped have sound.  Only works with ear-buds.  Also, now when I power it down or even force it, will only restart & will not stay shut off.  I have done the whole mute/lock thing, did a reset & even backed it up & restored it.  Anybody have any suggestions??  thanks!

    Try this  - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
    Check your settings. The iPads have a small switch on the right edge. It can be used as a rotation lock to keep the screen from automatically reorienting itself as you move around, but you need to have the tablet’s settings configured properly. That same switch, right above the volume buttons, can also be set to function instead as a mute button to silence certain types of audio.
    If the switch is set to work as a mute button, you can change its purpose to “screen-rotation lock” by tapping the Settings icon on the home screen. On the Settings screen, tap General on the left side, and on the right side of the screen flick down to “Use Side Switch to.” Tap to select Lock Rotation or Mute to set the button’s function. Even if you set the side switch for your preferred use, you can still mute the Mini or lock the screen. Just double-click the Home button, and when the panel of apps appears along the bottom edge of the screen, flick the row from left to right with your finger. Tap the icon on the far left side of the row to either lock the iPad’s screen or mute the iPad’s alerts, notifications and sound effects. Music, podcasts and video are not muted unless you turn the volume all the way down.

  • Why is my MacBook Pro making a "clicking" sound effect?

    Ever since i updated my MacBook Pro with Mavericks OS, I keep hearing a clicking sound effect randomly throughout use; even if I am not in a program.  What is this and what can I do about it?

    spotlight still indexing the drive, the armature bar is swinging back and forth and the HD is clicking
    macbook Pro uses (current ones) use Toshiba 2.5" 5400RPM drives, even on Toshibas own documentation, these drives are about 15% nosier than most HD are.
    I have several of these drives, they are nosier than many.

  • Vist Basic & XFI, random loss of sound and World of Warcraft Hardware enabling iss

    Hello.. First off want to say that prior to reinstalling Vista last week, I had no had any issues with my XFI and Vista.. Since the re-install, while running World of Warcraft and Ventrillo, I get random loss of sound. And by that, specifically I mean, the sound shuts off, and I get a constant loud hiss noise that does not stop until a reboot is performed. If I just run WoW and no Ventrillo, I dont get the random problem and the sound runs fine. It is however a highly annoying issue that requires too many reboots in evening. Getting to the point of just trying the onboard sound, which I'd certainly rather not do.
    Additionally there is an option in WoW that allows for Hardware enabling, which is supposed to improve performance. When I check this box and restart the game, the box is still not checked. Not sure if this is a CL problem, but something is wrong for sure! I'm using the latest drivers that are on creativelabs.com for my Vista 32 bit system. And again, didnt have these issues prior to the fresh re-install of Vista. Before that I had stepped up the drivers all the way from Vista. Thanks for any feedback on this.

    Not sure why your sound is cutting out... but as for WoW, it needs ALchemy installed to run with hardware audio enabled under Vista. I dont believe its in the list of titles included with ALchemy just yet, but adding it manually with the default options works just fine. Without doing this I believe the new sound core used in WoW will automatically detect that it cannot do hardware audio and simply uncheck the box whenever you try, where-as before it would work but still give you Software rendered sound (only instead of WoWs audio engine doing it, it was Vistas - not exactly an improvement). Incidentally, this not only improves performance but vastly improves the sound quality - especially when excessive numbers of sounds are being played. (eg Mass AoE effects on larger numbers of mobs, such as two Warlocks Hellfiring along with a Hurricane and Consecration while pulling the Ballroom - 9 mobs per group - near Moroes in Karazhan) Its possible doing this may also correct your cut-out issue, but its possible it wont. Ive been running WoW alongside Vent for months now under Vista w/ALchemy and an X-Fi and never had such a problem, but then I do also run Vent off the onboard audio so I can use a small earpiece and have voices clearly audible through game sound.
