What is that drum roll sound that comes out of nowhere?

I cannot figure out where this irritating drum roll flourish sound is coming from on my iPad air?
It happens for no reason... even when the iPad is turned off.  It sounds like a snare drum hitting about 4 rolls with a cymbal.  VERY irritating.
I've checked through all the settings.  I used to get alerts from the BBC news app - but that's not showing up on the settings.
Any idea where to check for this?
Thanks...

I can't find it a drum roll in sounds either. If you can't find it in notification center it may not be a alert but a noise that shouldn't be there. First double click the home button and swipe all the apps up to close to make sure the noise isn't coming from there. Next comes a reset. Press and hold both the home and power buttons 10-15 seconds till the Apple logo appears. Release both buttons. Wait 15-20 seconds till your iPad starts on it's own. Next comes reset all settings.

  • TS2634 I bought a ipad back in December and the ear buds never worked.  The sound doesnt come out of what you put in your ear but comes out of the little hole on the outside of the ear buds.  Is this supposed to be this way?

    The earbuds that came with my ipad have never worked.  They have sound that comes out of the outside hole of the earbuds.  When you put them in your ears no sound can be heard.  Has this been a problem or did mine just come broken?

    I have the same problem and it has just started in the last day or so...
    Got the phone late July and then in the last day, everytime I plug into PC or take a photo,  I get the same "Disk Error / Retry message"
    What is interesting is that I always had the Photo Storage location as the Memory Card (detachable).   Seems odd that sometime in the last month or so the phone decided to change my setting to the Mass Memory. Might have been an firmware update that I have done in the past but not sure.
    Changing the Photo Storage Location back to the Memory Card has stopped the error coming up everytime a Photo wastaken, but the message continues when I plug in the phone to the PC.
    Phone was just updated to latest firmware this morning and that has not helped, although during the back-up process I could not save some files from the Mass Memory.
    I wonder if Optus will shout a new phone because their technicians are useless with past experiences and to be honest the N97 really promises so much but offers very little compared to all of my last Nokia's.

  • How to use iphone as a microphone for the sound to come out in a bluetooth wireless speaker? what app?

    well i want to do the impossible- i think. i want to know if i there is an app that will allow me to use my iphone as a microphone, for the iphone to be able to be connected to a wireless bluetooth speaker, and for the sound, to come out on the speaker. (the voice) without any cables. in order to do some fun stuff like karaoke or just talk.

    Hi redzknzz,
    I see this has been up for over a year with no responses. Did you ever find a solution? I'm interested in something similar. The apps I've seen require the iPhone be connected to a powered speaker with a stereo cable. There are apps that allow you to connect to another iDevice via WiFi, which can then connect to the speaker. No output via Bluetooth yet.
    Have you found anything?

  • What is this command script called missing kitty that initiated out of nowhere on my macbook pro?

    What is this command script called missing kitty that initiated out of nowhere on my macbook pro? It says it was created by a former Apple genius and it showed up 3 days after I had to have my macbook wiped clean and re-installed at the Genius bar due to a "software glitch" that locked up my firmware....

    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2404816?start=0&tstart=0
    at the Apple Store called "Missing Kitty" that would allow you to install a script on the root level of the HD. After installing everything and making a user it would go in and delete the user so on the next restart the computer would start up a "brand new" and already have iLife installed.
    You can always call the genius bar for clarification

  • How can I make the flash of fire that comes out of a gun when it's shot?

    Hello, everyone. I have Motion 2.1.2 and am a MAJOR neophyte at it. One can even say that for all practical purposes, I've never used it. Therefore, keep this in mind when helping me. I know nothing.
    Is there a way to use Motion to make the quick flash of fire that comes out of a gun when it's shot?
    Simple enough question, I guess, and I imagine it's not all too difficult to do . . . but, alas, I know not how to do it. Perhaps some helpful folks on here can let me know how.
    Thank you much in advance.

  • Why does sound only come out of 1 speaker when I dock my iPod?

    My son's Ipod only plays sound out of I speaker. When I dock the ipod on his ihome radio or my sony radio, sound only comes out of the left speaker. When I put other ipods on the same docks i get sound out of both speakers. It is just this one ipod that won't produce sound out of both speakers, no matter what docking station I use.

    Likely it is a hardware issue for the iPod, you need to bring it for service

  • I need help getting sound to come out of my TV when using HDMI. Any solutions?

    I'm able to pull up my picture when connecting my HDMI cable to my Macbook pro...however I can't get the sound to come out of my Toshiba TV.  When I go under system preferences, then sound and select my Toshiba TV as an option.  It says it has no output controls.  I fiddled with my sound setting in my TV and stil no luck.   Does anyone know any solutions for this problem.  Help is greatly appreciated.

    Hey jbarwins
    Check to make sure that you are up to date on your computer. Another recommendation would be to try a different cable and also reset the NVRAM on your computer.

  • I have a iPad and I connect it to my tv through hdmi but would like the sound to come out through the headphone socket, can I make this happen

    I have a iPad and I connect it to my tv through hdmi but would like the sound to come out through the headphone socket, can I make this happen.

    Go to System Preferences>Sound>Output  and make sure that you selected the right output. I think if yo use HDMI you might not be abe to select another output.

  • How do I get the sound to come out of external speakers?

    How do I get the sound to come out of external speakers?

    Thanks for our reply.  My speakers are powered Bose speakers but still didn't pick up the sound until I tried this suggestion from another discussion thread.  This worked like a charm:
    Re: External speakers don't work created by ally100 in MacBook Pro -View the full discussion
    I had a similar problem a while back. The issue was with the speaker jack plug and the macbook phone socket. For some reason the jack plug was not a good a fit, as say the jack that comes with the iphone ear phones. A few tiwsts and turns of the speaker jack plug and it eventually became a snug(ish) fit. Have a look on you tune. There are a couple of videos on there that might help if this is not the issue. 

  • Sound output, comes out headphones AND internal speakers

    I've had my refurbished PBG4 1.33 GHz for a few months and when I plug in headphones, the sound comes out the headphones AND the internal speakers of the laptop. I've tried messing w/ the System Prefs/Output with no luck whatsoever. Any suggestions, or anybody else have this problem at all? I've read threads here that have been similar but not quite this particular problem. I need the sound to ONLY come through the headphones when they are plugged in. Kinda defeats the purpose if sound still comes out the laptop internal speakers w/ headphones plugged in.

    GO to System Preferences and open "sound".
    In "Output" make sure you have selected "headphones" as the source.
    In "Input" make sure you have selected "line in"
    Also make sure your headphones are plugged into the correct socket. There are two. The one you should be using is the one nearest the front of the computer.

    My bluetooth speaker (JBL Charge 2) is shown as "connected in the blu tooth section of the task bar. I have also gone to system preferences and the speakers are also shown to be connected and chosen as the main speakers. However, no sound comes out of the bluetooth speaker but rather the sounds still comes out of the computer. speakers. I have tried connecting, reconnecting, and restarting computer. The bluetooth speaker is also shown as connected in bluetooth preferences. What is wrong?

    I have tried to connect and Jambox and have the same problem; bluetooth speakers are connected and chosen but sound comes out of computer speakers.
