Weird Bell Noise

[Anmer]

I know there's a lot of people posting abount noises, and it's usually Quiet or some bird.
Not the case here, sometimes when I'm in Afghanistan I hear a noise that is similar to the one the Sonar emits, but mixed with something like a Cow Bell. It's a really weird sound and I think it may be a cue for something appearing, just don't know what. Anyone knows anything about that?

This thing bugs me too. It seems to happen mostly when I cover behind an object and spot an enemy.

Maybe it happens because they have special abilities (gunsmith etc). I don't really see any other reason.

I'm 90% sure it has nothing to do with their stats because they are generaly average.

Whenever DD spots an animal, it makes a ding sound.

I don't think we're talking about the same noise.

I think i know the sound you are talking about. it happens when you lose enemy aggro. If you are alerted and they are after you and you run away. after losing them that sound is made to let you know you are no longer in their range. or as a metaphor sound " off the radar/sonar"

I don't know for the op, but the one I'm talking about is this: ( around 0:27 )

I thought that sound was to alert you to an enemy you have not seen...

Hmm, that might just be it indeed. I play with enemy markings turned off so that could be the reason I hear it so often.

Not gonna jump into conclusions though, it still needs some investigation.

Yeah it playes when you spot a unknown enemy from a peeking position.

[Rykimaruh]

usually I hear somewhat similar sound when you mark an important target for extraction or a tank to blow up. Overall i think it's when there's an enemy close by so you get an idea that you are too close?

Thats my best guess anyway... the only times i have heard it is if im sneaking around and an enemy that i have not seen walks around a corner or if i see them threw a window... thats the only times iv ever heard it.

It warns you that you are close to an enemy that you didnt noticed until you got close, but the sound is kind of inconsistent. If i stumble uppon the tip again ill try to take an screen shot
