Whoosh sound missing in mail

The Swoosh sound will not play in 'sent mail'. The odd thing is that if I LOCK the screen it will then play. What does locking the screen have to do with the swoosh sound option in mail?

Make sure sound is not muted (little bell)

After updating to Mavericks MAIL no longer issues a "whoosh" sound when sending mail. Can I get it back?

If restarting did not resolve the issue, open Mail Preferences and make sure the box next to "Play sounds for other mail actions" is checked.

Dear Scotch27:
i am so sorry it did not work for you! I know, it is really really frustrating, as i have been having this problem for many months! I have not gotten Mountain Lion yet...maybe i won't! LOL!
btw, i got this reply from another poster, on a similar forum, so i copied it here to see if it would work for you...it didn't for me, but it did, for many other posters:
Go to applications/utilities and run Audio Midi Setup. Click the Builtin output link in the left pane click the down arrow next to the right-mast element after "Format" and change to something else, then back to what you originally had there. All pent-up sounds will come rushing through your speakers and you'll be OK with Mail sounds until it happens again. This worked for me in OS X 10.7 Lion; the problem seems to have been fixed in OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion. Good luck!
this post was from Chazcone, in a discussion question: "Re: "New Message" sound not playing in mail 5"....i really hope it works for you! i think it is ridiculous, that this is obviously a KNOWN bug somewhere within apple mail (icloud?), but no one has seriously looked into it, and/or fixed it, most especially in the new ML!!! let me know what happens, and i will pass along anything else i find to you re: this issue....good luck, and so sorry my "solution" didn't work for you!

The "Whoosh" sound for outgoing messages on mailstopped working. I have reviewed the instructions in the <help> file and checked all the volume settings involved. Any ideas?

Did you also check your Mail custom sound settings inside of Mail Preferences?

I've lost the 'whoosh' sound when I send mail. How do I get it back?

I used to have a 'whoosh' sound when I sent mail but it has disappeared. How do I get it back? I'm using a version 10.9.1 Maverick upgrade.

Thanx Tony T1. I have been having issues with mail ever since I 'upgraded' to Mavericks. Why doesn't Apple leave things alone? Now I often can't scroll in Mail and have to shut down and restart Mail to get it to work. That never happened until the Mavericks 'upgrade'.

No sound on new mail

I have done some research and found this (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=10762187&#10762187) but alas, my problem is different.
Ok, this is what I see...
* in Mail, I open Preferences > General and have "Ping" set for "New mail sound". (it's slightly louder than the default sound, but it doesn't matter which sound I use, it doesn't work
* "Dock unread count" = "Inbox Only" (see below)
I am using an IMAP account to a server I run locally. There are folders that appear under Inbox and at the present time non of them have any badges indicating new mail. Under the account (further down) where there are top level mail boxes there are several folders with badges indicating the unread count....
All looks good so far, then this is where the problem lies...
When I receive new mail, the badge on the mail application in the dock comes up, but no sound comes up. That badge relates directly to the inbox and new mail. But INSIDE the mail application, no matter what I do, I can not get an unread mail badge on the inbox itself. I can have any number of new mail in the inbox root, and I can see them unread (bolded) on the right side of the screen, but there is no unread count on the inbox itself (and for whatever reason this is where I think the sound alert is linked to. Because this badge is not showing up, I not get sound. It's just a hunch, but I think I'm on the game
BTW before anyone asks, yes, my sound is turned on and not muted.
What am I missing???

I have found a work around, but it doesn't always work.
My processes thus far: I opened up Mail on a Snow Leopard and IMAP'd into the same mail account and the badge was located on the inbox. Sure enough, it sounds everytime new mail is received.
The ONLY way I can get the badge to appear on the main inbox, is to have mail monitor SEVERAL mail accounts. When I added a second IMAP account, the inbox suddenly had an unread count badge. Thinking my problem was solved, I deleted the second account and along with it, the badge also disappeared. I re-entered the account and it's back.
As I said, it still doesn't always sound for new mail, but it does sound MORE often. I'm not going to mark this as resolved, since I feel this is still a problem

'Whoosh' sound heard when sending an email, immediately...

When I send an email with a particulary large attachment (I have a slow internet connection) I often hear the 'whoosh' sound played immediately, even though it's quite clear the email coulnd't have possibly been sent so quickly.
I think this has led to me sending an email, hearing the 'whoosh' sound and immediatley shutting my Macbook lid, putting it to sleep. Subsequently, the email never gets sent until I open Mail on my Macbook again.
This is annoying because I've 'sent' an important email recently, and then found it never reached its recipient and was sitting in the Mail outbox when I used my Macbook a few hours later.
Any ideas?
Thanks, in advance
*This issue didn't seem to occur when my Macbook was running OS X Lion.

How is this iPhone related?

If this is related to sending emails, then you can turn off the send sound: Mail > Preferences > General. Now uncheck Play sounds for other mail actions.
If this is related to iMessage, then iMessage > Preferences > Alerts > uncheck Play a sound:
If the " whoosh" sound continues, System Preferences > Audio > Sound Effects. Uncheck Play user interface sound effects.

Whoosh sound is very weak

Since I upgraded to Yosemite, the whoosh sound has become disproportionately weak, compared to the strength of other sounds, such as the one for receiving new email. Yes, I can always increase the general volume, but that will make the other sounds uncomfortably strong. This was not the case up to the previous version of OS X and Mail.

I had a similar problem with my old iPhone 4. What I did was cut the speaker mesh off the phone and was amazed by the difference but first I would check that somehow you hadn't set a volume limit on it if it is while trying to listen to apps or music.

Why do I lose the sound effects for mail on my MBA and not the other Macs I have? Running ML.

Why do I lose the sound effects in Mail for sending and receiving on my MBA and not on my other Macs? Running Mountain Lion. The problerm seems to be related to the sleep mode. When the MBA sleeps and then wakes up the sounds are missing. If I shut down and restart the machine the sounds will be back but only last until the maching goes through a sleep cycle.

Primarily because, as ron245 points out, there is only ONE speaker on the bottom.

Hi..
For Mail, from your Mail menu bar (top of your screen) click Mail > Preferences then select the General tab.
Click the pop up menu to the right of New messages sound to make a selection.

Bluetooth Whooshing Sound?

On my new iPhone 4 whenever I use the Bluetooth in my car (with it's built in bluetooth) there is a strange whooshing sound that varies in volume and sometimes goes away completely. It wasn't an issue with my previous phone but now when I call people from my car they notice it -- usually asking if I have the A/C on. Any ideas for what I can do to fix this?

Rapid alarm sounds followed by rapid whooshing sounds

I have a macbook air and within the last few months when I am on the internet, I hear rapid dinging alarm like sounds followed by rapid whooshing sounds as if hundreds of emails are sending when I have no emails to send. Has this happened to anyone else? Has my computer been hacked? I am on my second new credit card due to someone hacking my credit card but was luckily caughter by Barckley Credit Card. Maybe I am connecting two separate issues.

Doubtful it's a security issue ...
Check System Preferences > Sound > Sound Effects
Deselect: Play user interface sound effects

Sound for outgoing mail sometimes happening and sometimes not

Hello,
I noticed already some time ago that Apple Mail seems to make the usual sound for outgoing mail only sometimes and sometimes not. It is more not happening than happening. I cannot recognize any pattern in this behavior.
Any idea what is going on here and how to fix it - or is this a normal behavior for Mail?
Thanks.

Thanks--I found it interesting! Especially when Spell Check quit working for me, too.
Very weird.
I went back and selected 'Correct Spelling Automatically' in Text Edit-- that works, but I don't like it either. Whoops, only intermittently. I just looked again and that's not working now. Wow, no restart of computer and I hadn't closed Text Edit-yet it stopped working.
Spell checking seems to be behaving badly. It will not underline in mail--until I change a misspelled word....and then only sometimes. At the best it's intermittent.
I hope someone found it interesting enough to fix w/the next system update...
