Why does Facebook make noises while scrolling?
FACEBOOK users have complained about a “glitch” causing a beeping sound in the app.
People say the mysterious sound is “annoying” and “drives me crazy.”
The short sharp beep seems to sound when you're browsing the Facebook app.
It is not clear whether the sound is intentional or defective, but many users think it is a glitch.
“I tried deleting the app, logging out and turning off my phone. Nothing worked,” one frustrated person wrote.
“It makes it sound like I'm posting something, but I'm not. It's super annoying,” another complained via Reddit.
“Yes, and it's so damn annoying having to put the phone on silent,” a third fumed.
“It drives me crazy too,” said a fourth user.
Fortunately, a genius member has revealed a simple trick to solve the problem.
However, some Facebook fans say it doesn't work for them and will switch back the next time they load the app.
Since some seem to have had success, it may still be worth trying.
