Too loud beep; Health risk

I experienced a very disturbing and potentially health risking issue with my Lumia 610 with latest Win7.8 firmware. At the end of the phone call there are 3 beeps, which are extremely loud. Those beeps causing real physical pain to me.
I am using Nokia phones more than a decade now, but I have not experienced such an issue before with earlier models. Please, help, I need an urgent solution.
I found a somewhat similar, but dead topic, without any usable response: Very loud beeps and ringtones
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Regarding ringtones you can always change them.
The beep at end of call dont get any so i cant say why you do.
You could always move phone away from ear slightly
If i have helped at all a click on the white star below would be nice thanks.

2nd time this has happened. Computer making noises too loud for computer.

Okay, seriously I have had enough. While using Garage Band editing music, my computer once again made a too-loud beep/honk noise. This has happened once before. Now my audio/built in speakers are F'ed! NOW ALL MY AUDIO SOUNDS LIKE THIS: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OcTHGDOLEoc (you gotta play the video. )
This has happened once before, but everything was okay except for a bit of distortion. WHY does this keep happening?! Heres a bit more information:
- Using Garage Band, didnt press ANY buttons to trigger sounds
- In using wireless internet, password protected
- I only had iMovie and iTunes opened (as well as GB)
- THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS ** HAS HAPPENED
- The sound was WAY too loud for the computer. It was like Max times 50
- I've only owned my Mac for about a year.
- I do not want to get a new bloody Mac, I just downgraded from SL.
I'm not really happy atm, so dont give me stupid answers.
(Wow, it sounds like im listening to AM radio! WOW! ... -.- )

I don't think you got a KP when the machine was off, but rather you may have closed the lid before the MB was fully powered down and it went into a sleep state.
Did you try running the Apple Hardware Test to see if the ram is bad? Since yo never had a KP before adding new ram, and the only change was adding said ram. My guess is that its the memory that is the cause.
I cannot vouch for patriot ram, but I suggest in the future you consider Crucial as its a higher quality ram.

IMac makes a loud beep on start up, won't load past the blue screen and the black ticking dial appears every few seconds in centre of screen.

Urgent help!
Out of the blue my mac lost the mouse cursor even though it had connection so I rebooted only for the mac to make a loud beep on start up then get stuck at the blue loading screen. It won't load past the blue screen. I've tried to reboot holding down the shift key but no change. I've also shut down, unplugged the main for 15 seconds, re plug and wait 5 seconds before starting up again but no change. Does anyone have any suggestions?
PS: I'm not too sure which systems I am running without being able to check in about this mac. I bought my imac in January or February 2011 if that helps.

The power on self-test resides in the ROM of the computer. This test runs whenever the computer is turned on after being fully shut down (the power-on self-test does not run if the computer is only restarted).
If a fault is detected during the test, you will not hear a normal startup chime. Instead, the system will beep as explained below. If you experience one of these beeps, you may call your Apple Authorized Service Provider for additional troubleshooting assistance.
1 beep = no RAM installed
2 beeps = incompatible RAM types
3 beeps = no good banks
4 beeps = no good boot images in the boot ROM (and/or bad sys config block)
5 beeps = processor is not usable

X6 wake-up alarm sound getting way too loud

Hi.
First post here, and think last 'cause I haven't found any annoyances besides this.
Using X6 as an alarm clock for everyday wake up call.
The alarm sound just keeps getting too loud that it comes an annoyance in a few seconds (I tend to keep X6 next to me on a bedside table).
Have searched from the phone, but is it so that the Clock alarm "Ringing type" can not be changed as one can change the Incoming call ringing type in Profiles-section (possibilities are here: Ringing, Ascending, Ring once, Beep once, Silent)?
Seems so that those two mentioned aren't even connected to each other, so that if I set Incoming call ringing type as Ringing, still to no avail, because this doesn't affect Clock alarm in any ways (and Clock alarms in Ascending-type).
Any advice on this?
(And could someone tell me, why this has been designed as is now?)
Cheers

wow people normally complain its to low
the volume for an alarm tone is standard it cant be altered the only thing possible is to select another tone thats not high pitched
you can change the alarm tone by going to clock icon then open this and go to settings here you can change the tone

Very loud beep (not at startup)

I was working on my iMac today, and all of a sudden, it made a loud beep. This was so loud everyone in the room nearly jumped out of their skin. This is not like the tone you hear when making a firmware update, it's something completely different. It was more of a buzzing sound than a clear tone, and it happened after the machine had been on a few hours. Everything seems to be fine, but I really want to know what that was all about. Has anyone encountered this?

Thanks. I can see where I rebooted, which I assume is where it says "Shutdown NOW!" (sounds a little too urgent for a voluntary shutdown). Some stuff happened with Google Chrome and Photoshop (weird, since I was using InDesign at the time). A quick Google search reveals that exit code 1 is generic and doesn't really tell you anything. I don't know what "headlights" is. So it seems like it could be Chrome or something Adobe, but I'm not sure what to make of this so it's not all that helpful.

Loud beep after restart after Safari update

hi all everything is fine. But there was a loud beep when MCP had to restart after Safari update today. Should i be concerned? Like said everything is working fine. And this was the first time i heard such a beep. Its always been the regular chime instead.

Roger: That article applies only to iMacs.
True but I'm willing to bet the same (at least for the tone heard) applies to the MBP too. Let me see if I can find an advice letter that states that. In the link I suggested earlier there is a link that leads to:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1557
That advice letter does refer to MBP's so it's feasible the same advice is true for MBP's. At least that's my logic.

HELP! Won't wake up from sleep. At reboot gives 1 loud beep

Only 3 years old too! All the sudden, it no longer wakes from sleep mode. I need to restart it. When I do, it lets off 1 single loud beep and then about 3 - 4 minutes of a grey screen with a spinning thing.
*** is going on???

You might want to try the following first - reset your PRAM:

http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
and/or start in Safe mode:

According to this information from Apple:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1547
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2341?viewlocale=en_US
it could be faulty RAM - although it only mentions startup rather than coming from sleep mode, it'd be worth your while to check out your memory modules in System Profiler and/or run a test:

Loud beeping and no start up on MacBook. Please help

After taking apart my MacBook today to try figure out a screen connection problem, I go to turn my MacBook back on and all I get is a repetitive loud beep 5 seconds apart and no start up. I have tried rebooting ram and re-seating it but still nothing. Please help!

I do not get a specific number of beeps, it simply just keeps going one beep every 5 seconds....or does this still mean no ram installed???
Check the seating of the RAM...

ITunes 10 upgrade makes airtunes volume too loud even at minimum setting

I just updated to iTunes 10 this morning and love the interface and most of what is has to offer. I have, however, encountered an issue with the volume when streaming my music through Airtunes (or Airplay now) and my Airport Express to external speakers. I have an Express set up in my son's room and hooked up to a pair of computer speakers via a stero-mini to stereo-mini. Before the update the volume adjustment worked fine but after updating to iTunes 10 even the minimum volume is too loud for the white noise we put on to help him sleep. If you have ever had a fussy infant you understand that this is a HUGE problem. I've read the forums and come up with nothing. I know that I can manually change the master volume of the sleep sounds (get info on specific track and change master volume) but that's a ridiculous work-around. I've resorted to using Airfoil (an excellent program by the way) because I can't get Airplay to work right. All of the setting are there for it to be a real hit (individual volume settings for each set of external speakers - I have 2 airport express units) but they just DON'T WORK. What a shame that after an update I have to resort to a 3rd party program. I hope Apple hears this and updates very soon or the folks at Airfoil are going to be getting a lot of business very soon. Next post is at Engadget and Mashable
cool. please let me know if you've found a setting that I don't know about.
thx.

iTunes 10 allows each AirTunes (AirPlay) zone to have a separate volume. Try selecting "Multiple Speakers" in the "AirPlay" tab and adjust the volume from there. Also make sure the "Preferences" settings are set to allow for remote volume to be set.

Pavilion dv6 - loud beeping sound when starting +sound problem

i just bought an hp pavilion dv6 notebook LR732PA and every time i turn it on there's a loud beeping sound, and i'm not sure if this is normal but it asks me where to boot from (pc hard drive) and which oS (windows 7 64-bit). does anyone know how to stop the beeping?
Also sometimes the sound stops working altogether and an icon appears on the screen with a circle moving around it, and when i try to put the volume up the bar slides back down. it usually can be fixed by closing some programs and processes, it happens sometimes when ive just got 2 programs running and i close one and its ok, or if its not i have to restart. is this something to do with RAM or some kind of sound setting?
Thanks =)

There could possibly be a RAM issue here are a couple of troubleshooting links that might resolve your issue or give you an idea what the beeping is referring to.

Nokia 2700 handsfree kit volume too loud

my car (2007 bmw with fitted in bluetooth handsfree kit) connects fine with the new 2700 nokia i bought, however people keep telling me that they can hear me too loud over the phone, while in the car the volume is ok. I didn't have this problem with my previous nokia model, or with the one my son has, 5310 Xpress Music. The problem is that i can change the volume settings in the car, only the speaker volume that is,and the phone, once connected, doesnt allow any change of volume settings.
it is just the microphone volume, so not the speaker volume, and that i don't have this problem with other nokia models...
Yours sincerely,
Nicolas

As always, as this is a place where people will often/likely come when they have an issue of some sort you can't really measure whether or not something is structural or 'general occuring' by posts here. No one would deny that you may have an issue, but if it were as widespread as you seem to think it would be all over the media which is isn't.
I'd have the phone checked at the retailer or a Nokia Care Point.

Loud beeps, squeals, morse code, hacking?

In the middle of a conversation - loud beaps and squeals break out and stop the connection. Loud horn honks like a semi truck along with what absolutely sounds like morse code. Prob persisted into the next day. On the other end my GF could only here static. Could not call or receive. . ... As usual for me, I'm seeing nobody else mentioning this experience here. What happened? Did my line get hacked? Had to remove battery to reset phone and that cleared it up.
These were the kinds of sounds you would hear on a shortwave radio when you tune around.

I have had my Charge for about 4 days and I had the same noise interrupt a call today. I tried to call the person back and got the same thing again. The other person called me back and again all I had was this loud beeping, staticky, morse code like noise. I had to restart the phone in order to use it.
I am also having the problem with the phone constantly dropping the network service. I have to reboot 2-3 times a day to get back on the network. This is in a 3g coverage area. Today when I had no network service, my wife had 3 bars on her Droid 2.

IMovie to iDVD--Video too dark, sound too loud--Help!

I created three iMovie projects for my son's swim team, then made a DVD using iDVD. It was fine when viewed in iDVD's preview, but when burned to the DVD-R the video was too dark and the sound was way too loud. This is footage taken on a Sony digital camcorder (DCR-TRV11).
I did the iDVD project by starting from scratch from within iDVD, then dragging the iMovie pieces and still images into the iDVD project. The iMovie pieces were prepared by using Share to make them into "full quality" .dv movies.
When I play the finished DVD on my iMac, there are no unusual problems with the video or audio. It looks and sounds like it did when played from the digital camcirder. But when played on both of my standalone DVD players + TVs, the video is too dark and the audio is much too loud.
Any idea why this is, and to fix it? I don't find a way to reduce the audio volume in iMovie. Maybe there is a workaround using the Relative Volume feature, but all my clips have a similar sound level. Any help will be appreciated.

when burned to the DVD-R the video was too dark
They is a VERY slight darkening during the MPG-2 compression process (see my pages Digital Video Color Bars Test at http://homepage.mac.com/profpixel/color_bars/colorbars.htm and iMovie HD and iDVD 5 Gray Patch Test at http://homepage.mac.com/profpixel/gray_patches/graypatches.htm )
I suspect what you are seening is a major difference in brightness/contrast between your computer monitior and your TV set (and in fact you admit this: "When I play the finished DVD on my iMac, there are no unusual problems with the video or audio. It looks and sounds like it did when played from the digital camcirder. But when played on both of my standalone DVD players + TVs, the video is too dark and the audio is much too loud.") so you aren't seeing an iDVD problem.
