What the heck is that sound?

Are you running EDMC per-chance?

If so, go to the app and disable sounds.

I got rid of a chirpy-trilly kinda sound coming from that app. IIRC it was the "fail to connect" notice or similar.

If you sit a station for a little while you hear all sorts of things, from heavy machinery to idle radio chatter, but every once in a while I hear this one sound and it's driving me mad.

It this short 1 second trilling sound that happens when I've been sitting on the pad for a while, that sounds like it's got something to do with station services--has a similar quality to the sounds used for your ship ui when contacts are found/lost or like when interacting with station services menus (maybe with a touch of the current warbling sound you get in engineering when your roll for the special effect, but like sped up more like a "chiming"), but I have no idea what it is. It happens infrequently enough, that I never remember to like time it to see if it happens at a regular frequency. But I can never tell what it's supposed to be indicating. Does anyone else know what I'm talking about?

Is it the space madness?

You're hearing internal station noises, like doors opening and closing, and paging sounds. A bug in beta kept those going after you left the engineers.

This seems the most likely, maybe? I do run a journal tracking app similar to eddi/edmc.

I hear strange sounds during the game too. but it doesn't matter if I'm docked or flying. After I'm in the game for a while, it sounds kind of like my wife asking me if I plan to play that silly space game all night.

Yeah, it's odd.
