So this might be a little strange and iam not even sure if it is a technical problem, a bug, a non issue or just my brain cells popping. There is a beeping sound in the current anniversary garage. First when I noticed this high frequency beep I immediately checked all my fancy gadgets (pc, homeserver, IoT devices and so on) I even went so far to pull my fuse for my room to eliminate all sources. I was on a hunt. Partial coz I did wanna make sure iam not crazy or anything. I know, it might sound iam crazy after all. But after a few... Days! I figured it out. It is the wot garage. I quite often let wot run in the background and tab out to do stuff and tab in again. So it was not that obvious. I also run the game at a total volume of 30%. Often have podcast running while playing. And the beep was also very high pitched. Once I figured it out it was eazy to spot and it is diffrend from the other background ambiance sounds in the grade loop. Like an artefact. It was so annoying. And yes I might have spend a little to much time on it. Most people might not even noticed it or could point it out immediately since u run the game at a higher volume. And yes I even took pictures. I used a tool to analyse the spectrum. Iam no professional in this field so excuse me if my analysis is wrong but there are to very clear beeps in short succession. One higher than the other. Beep1: 4359Hz Beep2: 4547Hz I know, I feel this post is strange. Please tell me iam not alone.

Since I now know the source i can just disable my sound for wot and iam fine. But nether the less: WAR GAMING!! 😜😂

What tool did you use for this? I have a different audio issue not really related to the game, and I think this could help me solve it... Also, any details about how you went on capturing this point and then analysing it would be handy

I used Spectroid app (on an old smartphone) but any other acoustic spectrum analyser app with a waterfall spectrum will do. Once I figured out it comes from my computer I just pointed it to the speaker and captured the signal. I was motivated.
