Random Static Noises. Bug?
I spent a while looking up possible fixes to this and scoured my inventory for possible causes but it just. Won't. Stop. I have exited the game completely and even rebooted.

For a while now whenever I play on my main character there's this static noise in the background. The only time it is not present is when I'm in one of the menus' (Start menu and pipboy) or when I'm accessing a terminal or lock. All other times the buzzing/static/hellishly annoying noise is there.

While typing this up I've found that it will briefly stop when I mess around in a settlement for a while but as soon as I walk a few steps away there's some kind of ppowering-up noise and the static returns.

No weapon or armor piece I have is the cause. No quest related things either. Tried cycling out companions too.

The bug fixes I saw said it was a result of Holotape background noise continuing past the end of the tape but I tried the fix there and it did not work.



In the name of all that is holy, HELP ME!

I have the same problem. It goes off when I use any crafting station and then exit it. But it comes back again and again. Not sure if it was the case but I think I started to have this issue after I toyed with Spotlight Override Program. Please help us someone !

Bump and I have determined that the "power up" noise the comes before the static's return is the noise power armor makes once you get into it.

I was having the same problem. I figured out it started when i entered Jack Cabots house and left befor the end of a scripited event. I went back and finished the event and it went away. Your hearing a ham radio.

Sadly this is not the case for me. It started before I ever got to Cabot's house.

Dear god this is a multiple source bug. I can only imagine the hell other player's are in right now.

Check if you chose a radio station or signal that is out of reach in your pip-boy.

Already checked the radio multiple times. It's completely off.

SWEET JESUS CHRIST I FIXED IT!

IF ANY of you have ever used a Gaus rifle this is likely your problem.

If you charged the Gaus rifle but switched weapns before firing the charging noise it makes persists.

You can fix it by pulling the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ thing out again and the noise FINALLY vanishes.

I hope this is the case with those of you still having the issue.

Did you pull it out, fully charge and fire it?

For me, equipping and shot with gauss riffle solved my probleme of sound. Thanks guys

Now my only sound problem is the idiot savant noise.

Second playthrough but damn is it annoying sometimes.
