fastjoe.5139 Posted April 5, 2022 Share Posted April 5, 2022 This may be a dumb question, but sometimes when I’m playing I’ll randomly hear a low pitched double beep sound. It’s happened twice in the past two weeks, and almost sounds like a background notification. Yesterday it did it while I was in the mini dungeon hidden in Echovald, so maybe it’s an alert sound in game? Any ideas because I have no clue what the game is alerting me to 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hesione.9412 Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 No idea either, but I also get the sound you're describing. I thought it was something generally odd with my computer, but it only happens when Guild Wars 2 is running. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galmac.4680 Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 Perhaps maybe possibly it could be a windows notification after pressing shift 5 times to have it locked (but without the notification window)?? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastjoe.5139 Posted April 6, 2022 Author Share Posted April 6, 2022 I thought it was something like that, but it’s not the same effect. I also checked the Windows sounds. It’s not a sound from Windows. It’s not a big deal I was just curious as I thought I was missing some kind of notification Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inculpatus cedo.9234 Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 When I get random sounds (and they have only shown up on Guild Wars 2), they have been from the monitoring programs/applications I use. One example is, though seldom, a notification from my Network Meter program/app telling me my connection has dropped momentarily. I get no notice in-game, nor actually lose connection with the game, as I guess it is so very brief. 🤷♂️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hesione.9412 Posted April 7, 2022 Share Posted April 7, 2022 I play windowed full-screen mode, does anybody else getting these beeps play like that as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Lana.2506 Posted April 7, 2022 Share Posted April 7, 2022 I'm glad someone else made a post about this because I didn't know how to describe it. It's definitely tied to the UI sound in-game because that's the only sound I play with, so I assumed it was a notification of some sort, but nothing shows up.

Healix.5819 Posted April 7, 2022 Share Posted April 7, 2022 There's a map-wide double beep in Echovald just prior to the gang war meta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galmac.4680 Posted April 7, 2022 Share Posted April 7, 2022 Hey, today I had this double beep sound too. No explanation for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boris De Pig.7258 Posted April 7, 2022 Share Posted April 7, 2022 I spent quite a long time trying to figure out the random beeps I used to get. I tracked it down to my graphics card software which used to kick in whilst playing GW2 to limit fps to reduce card temps. I spent literally weeks trying to find out what was making GW2 beep at me and all along it was the GFX software... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastjoe.5139 Posted April 7, 2022 Author Share Posted April 7, 2022 Well just to follow up. I feel stupid but it was indeed a ping to indicate the start of the Echovald gang war meta. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
