Find out what the beeping is!


Recommended Posts

So i made a boat, and began to put it in the ocean.

Big real right?

However, the second it touched the water in addition to splashes, I heard a bunch of random beeps. They were high pitch and had no pattern whatsoever. I throttled up and the beeping became more frequent until I cut the throttle and came to a stand-still. The beeping stopped then.

Here's the boat:

So anyone know what the beeping is or what's causing it?

hmm, any mods installed? And do the beeps sound like something else in the game?

Nope, no mods and the beeping is unlike anything i've heard, really high pitch. Like Slightly higher than R2-D2 type beeping.

They're also very short beeps as in "tapping a pen against your desk"-short.

The game has always done that, at least for some of us. Whenever I'm moving over the surface of the water, there's a sound like someone plinking little bits of metal together. :D And yes, it's proportional to speed.

I guess another guess would be the engine sound and the splash sound interfering with each other. Does the sound play when you have momentum with the engines off?

I've experienced beeping similar to as you described it in .20 as well. Except in my case, I was performing a burn around Duna (in high orbit). I only experienced it twice, both occurred in Duna orbit and lasted for about a minute each. Both occurrences were 2-5 minutes apart. At the time I assumed it may be a bug associated to the Easter egg on Duna's surface, but now that seems highly unlikely as you've reported it on Kerbin's surface. The beeping sound was more steady than that of the Duna beeping hill Easter egg, if I recall correctly. But it does sound quite similar. I was unable to record it.

I am on a clean .20 install of the game. No mods and no adjusting of any files (besides changing audio via the settings panel). I have been unable to reproduce this event. I have no idea as to what could be causing the bug.

I've experienced this beeping just now after sending my 3rd satellite into Kerbin orbit. First instance was after decoupling the payload from the KW fairing base I heard 2 pattern beeps and they sound like: beep beepbeep beep... kind of weird. I went back to the space center and switched back to my satellite again and heard the beeping sounds in the same pattern. This has never happened when I sent out my other 2 satellites before. Must be something transmitting signals out there and it's being intercepted by anything that has antennas?
