Constant beeping noise in cockpit, SOS!

[The Boi]

I've just returned from a planetary mining expedition when my Cobra's cockpit started making this constant beeping noise. It's hard to explain the sound itself, it's about 12 beeps that sound like a duck's quack with a quiet shuffling noise in the background. Am I finally succumbing to space madness? Send help!

Have you tried rebooting your ship?

[The Boi]

Yeah. I tried that as soon as I could, no change.

I'm not saying it's Thargoids, but it's Thargoids.

Wow this happened to me to when I was farming on quince. Odd

And it sounds the same as my description? Either it's an audio glitch or Thargoids. I really hope it's Thargoids.

Got something pretty similar to your description just about an hour ago on a surface scan mission.

Extremely annoying, I'll see if restarting fixes it.

I have heard a weird, distorted duck quack sound occasionally, too. It repeats rhythmically, typically when I'm near a planet/moon. It seemed to start after 2.3.

Had some strange noises out of the bubble as well, also had artifacts (red spheres (???)) on some screens (those are lost), so definitely thargoids.

This is what I call "hearing skimmers" if you do scan missions, it plays until you get out of quince. FDevs way of punishing you.

It is the level 2 scanner sound that is stuck - the one you hear when you target a ship or planet in SC. Sometimes it gets stuck and you hear it constantly. If you exit and restart the game it goes away. Note you must exit to desktop. Simply going to the main menu won't do it.

This sound bug has been present for a very long time. My guess is it is hard to reproduce and thus hard to fix since the devs likely don't have time to test out a million different scenarios to try to get it to reproduce. I have had it but I do not know what the steps are to cause it to happen every time.
