Random clicking sound when driving

[Hot Wet Nobel Laureates]

For the past couple of days, I've occasionally been hearing a brief clicking sound when driving, kinda like someone clicking their tongue. As far as I'm aware, it's only happened when playing ETS2. Since I have anxiety, I'm kinda losing my mind. Has anyone else experienced this, or know what it could be?

Edit: Link to a video that shows the issue, occurs about a second it. https://youtu.be/P7_xsO503Is?si=laCXQnj38vWZOR4_

First thought that occurs - a few updates ago SCS added a sound of rustling and clattering whenever you take a sharp corner, to mimic the sound of loose items shifting around your cab from the g-forces of the turn. Might that be what you are hearing?

Aside from that, some mods replace the yawning sound of your character when they are getting tired with a bleeping or ticking of a truck tachograph, to warn you that you are close to your driving hours. Are you using any mods which might be having that effect?

If neither of the above, you might have to give a little more info I'm afraid...

I’m not using any mods, but I suppose it could be the sharp corner thing you mentioned

Do you know if I can turn that off?

Also, do you have a link to that update's patch notes if they exist?

I don't think it's the turning thing. I was driving on a straight road at around 60 km/h and I heard it again

Does it sound like popping? If so, I too am hearing the same as you, I have only been getting this since 1.53 update, 1.52 never heard it at all. Does that sound about right?

Yeah, I guess you could say it sounds like popping.

I have starting hearing that as well.

yup weird popping sound, i thought it was IRL the first times.

I suddenly had my reverse sound of all trucks being replaced by a really annoying police siren last update. Turned out it was because of one modded in truck and fixed by installing the sound fix mod. If something is bothering people with a weird popping noise you could try and install one of the many driving sound overhauls?

ps. If installing mods for the first time: After downloading it from the workshop you have to also activate them inside the game's main menu mod section.

Drowning a suspicious sound with mods? You smart man. /s

Anyone that can record it in a video?

After a bit of research, I think they were added in with the 1.48 update, however they were an unlisted addition not mentioned in the patch notes. Perhaps they were intended as part of the big sound update released around that time, but weren't quite ready when the sound update went live, so were added afterwards without fanfare.

However if that doesn't seem to be the cause of the issue, then yes as Kaki said above, a video highlighting what you are hearing might be the best way forward, if you're able to record one.

Well, regarding sound issues, I have problems with the RJL Scania. It turns my crazy!! I have no engine sound. All other sounds (blinker, horn, etc.) work just fine but no engine. Anyone can help me guys???
