Machine gun sound wont stop

[Beazy]

after firing a gun on a car a constant machine gun sound has started and it wont stop. One way to stop it is to quit the game then re-load the file, however once i move the phone menus around or the options button to activate the menus, the constant firing sound returns to the game and doesnt stop

I'm not sure if it's related to shooting a car but I had the same problem of a sound repeating, I think in two different moments already.

In that mission where a guy pays your "friend" with a motorcycle then you go after him and have to put the guy in a car's trunk and you take him to the police friend.

In that moment just before you can take him to the trunk when the main battle happens, the machine gun sound kept playing repeating non-stop.

After I restarted the PC I restarted the mission and finished it without any sound issues and the problem didn't happen anymore until now. It's weird, there was another bug that didn't allow me to finish a mission because the game crashed when it was about to display the objective in the mini-map making that little "bell" sound, but restarting the PC also fixed it.

My PC is very clean and have the latest drivers, I think SD may be doing something wrong like leaving "garbage" or loading something corrupt in the memory or something.

yea i managed to fix mine by taking out the save files then putting them back in wierdly but if i shoot machine guns alot for long periods of time it will sometimes happen again

I got to the mission, maybe called Cruise Control, where you get into a sports car which has guns. I shot the guns for a little while and then suddenly the guns wouldn't stop, long after the mission was over. It even affects earlier saves!

Details:

Sleeping Dogs Definitive Edition
Windows 8
i7
GTX 860M
8GB RAM
1TB HDD

Is there any fix?

I'm getting the same problem, I'm in the post game doing those 8 stopwatch symbols I thought it was the DZS, but I quit to main menu and reloaded which worked until I get a car from the garage, as soon as I leave the garage in any car it starts up again.

FOR ANYONE STILL HAVING ISSUES WITH THIS!

Go to your steam library and select the game, then click "properties" and find "verify integrity of game files"

This fixed the issue for me, I was on the last mission when I blew up a truck with a machine gun. Even after finishing the game I could still hear it but this seems to fix the issue!

Im having this exact problem but with the temple bells instead. saving, going back to the main menu and re loading fixes it temporarily but it returns as soon as you press start or a menu opens.
