Weird alert sounds from my iphone

My iphone has suddenly started making an alert sound that I do not recognize and that I did not program it to make. and it isn't connected to a new email or text message or phone call or anything. it just does it! has anyone else had this issue?

okay I figured it out and I'm so embarrassed! It was my NOOK making the noise! the nook was sitting right next to my phone and I the Nook is always muted for all sounds but for some reason the notification volume had been turned up so that's what it was and that's why I didn't recognize it! Sorry!

Hi Donh1981,
I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on the exact nature of your issue. If you are saying that you are not getting any sound from your iPhone through either the external speaker or the headset jack, you may find the troubleshooting steps/articles listed in the Acoustic section of the following article helpful:

Strange Sounds from my iPhone 5 screen

Just got my second iPhone 5 (16gb) from the Apple Store in Stockholm / Sweden and i notised that this one also have the same problem as my last one that got replaced. The problem is that im getting some strange cracking sounds from the bottom left / right side of the screen (screenshot: http://i.imgur.com/JSuOO.jpg ). It feels like theres some gap between the screen and the part thats "holding" the screen.
anyone else having this problem? or is it just normal with the iPhone 5?

user damage invalidates the warranty .You have no warranty in the US .You can return it in person to Apple Store in US and they may repair it if just broken glass if more damage then an exchange unit will be $269 + tax

Weird tone sound from CD/DVD drive

Sometimes I hear a weird tone coming from my CD/DVD drive. It is a short tone that almost sounds like a warning tone. It does this when the drive is empty and it doesn't sound like any of the sound samples on the apple site. I have updated my firmware and recently I've had to do several force quits. Could this sound be related to that? I can still import CDs and play them in iTunes. I'm just concerned that this sound means the drive will stop working soon.
Thanks.

Hi,
My optical drive sometimes does that after a while. I don't know how to explain it, but it may be since the optical drive is not in use, it resets itself or wakes it up again. I'm not sure if this is correct.
But if you suspect it failing or you are still concerned, by all means contact Apple and see what they say.

Can't remove new mail sound from 5s iPhone

I can't turn off new mail sound on my iPhone 5S. I have set sound to "none" in settings.

@gsheppard I can understand how it can be frustrating not to send out email. The error message that you are receiving indicates that the out going server settings are incorrect. The in coming server setting are correct that is why you can receive and out going server settings are wrong which is why you can not send out. The best way to get this resolved would be to contact your email provider and get the correct outgoing server settings. Hope this helps. Thanks.

Weird clicking sound from PB

This is not my week. Just replaced the harddrive on my PB due to a crashed drive. Before I changed the drive, I had this clicking noice, actually sounds like its coming from the speakers. But I do not think so, as no matter what I do with the volume it remains the same. Well, I did not really pay any attention to it as I assumed it was the faulty drive that caused it. Now when I changed the drive, ran a hardware test and all is ok and the PB is spinning on I realize the clicking noise is not gone. It seems to be coming from the right top side of the computer. Its sporadic, but, it never starts from the beginning when you fire the computer up. Seems like the computer needs to get warm first. Could it be the fan? How would I go about finding the source of this clicking sound, and is there a way to see if you have a faulty fan? Hope someone could point me in the right direction as I do not know where to go from here.
Thanks in advance

I just plugged in a pair of earphones, and the clicking stopped. So I guess it is the speakers after all then. Is there anything I can do to make it stop? The speakers are in good condition and are not cracked or damaged by any means. Just this clicking sound from the speakers.

Email alert sounds on my iPhone?

I just got an iPhone4S. I have four email addresses. Can each email address be set up with a separate alert sound?

Sadly, you cannot.

I have lost all volume and sound from my iPhone 4S, even tho its on loud and I have checked all my settings. How do I get the volume and sound back on?

I have done all checks, rebooted my phone but I hVe lost all sound from it. When i play videos/ music... My key sounds have gone everything!
I've checked my settings they are all set to loud... What else can I do?

After wiping it, you need to re-activate it. If it is carrier locked, you will need to activate it on the network it is locked to.

Turn off alert sounds from Firefox in browser on Mac

I have turned off all alerts in System Preferences on my Mac. Yet Firefox still manages to deliver an alert sound, which is maddening. Where do I turn this off?
Thanks,
Amy

Do you have the NoScript extension installed? ''That's the only extension I have ever used that had a "sound".''
If yes, open NoScript Options > Notifications and un-tick '''Audio feedback when scripts are blocked'''

Super weird crackling sounds from speaker

Hello .. I have just been sent an LG S1 laptop and I have installed arch on it successfully. Only thing is, main speaker doesnt work. I know its functionnal, cause I had heard it from the initial vista install. Now, the headphones jack does work. And also, I use to own a very similiar but somewhat lower end model, the LG T1, which uses basically the same drivers and all, but the sound did work on that one.
Now what worries me a bit is that from time to time ill hear odd crackling sounds from the speaker. At one point, when I was trying to make XGL work with KDM, it did it to the point I thought my laptop was gonna explode.
Anyway, the fact that the speaker doesnt play sounds I can kinda live with, might just be a configuration issue; the crackling sounds howevevr, even though they rarely happen are like nothing ive ever heard or seen or whatever and they kinda worry me. ..
any ideas guys ?
(the best way I can describe it would be like what an "explosion" sound on an old nintendo or other 1980 game console sounded like.. like a broken up saw wave .. very odd)

again if it means anything, I had an LG T1 not so long ago with relatively the same hardware for audio and I don't recall kernel 2.6.22 causing any problems. Only booboo with that one was that pluggin in headphones did not shut off the "external" speaker.
Now, since then I have gotten this new S1 model because the T1 had an unresolvable LCD screen issue and I got screwed by the vendor and its long story but they sent me this much higher end model, and the sound doesnt work on that one - but I cant compare with previous kernels because none other have ever run on this one, and I cant compare also because its not the same machine.
But like I said, the T1 and S1 probably have very different main boards, but the sound "hardware" is supposed to be the same - and one the T1, Im pretty sure that 2.6.22 gave me the sound I wanted.
Guess ill try downgrading later see if it works ... right now im planning a move to 64 bits anyway, and am waiting for the newer ati fglrx with AIGLX support to be released to do so ..

A weird ticking sound from the base of my macbook pro?

My macbook pro was bought in October 2011 but I think it's the Early 2011 edition. It's an 15 inch. My problem is that I hear a weird ticking noise coming from the base of the computer. It sounds like it is coming from under the keyboard and the mouse pad. I usually hear it whenever I move it around or place my hands on the hand rest spot(?) when I'm typing. Anybody know if I should be worried or how to fix it? The sound is really annoying... Let it be known that I baby my macbook pro. I have never dropped it on the floor or slammed it on a table or something.
Thank you in advance
P.S. If it matters, I'm running on
Mac OS X Lion 10.7.2.

That could be the stepping motor in the hard drive making noise. Sometimes the noise means nothing, other times it could mean a problem with the hard drive and it could fail soon. Could be a fan out of allignment. If you can backup your data, do so. If you an get to an Apple genius bar, take it in and have the techs run some tests to find out what the noise is.
