Just the other day I was sitting at my desk with my phone and it let out a strange chirp noise, hard to describe but I was very confused as so what it was. It did it again later that night. Today while driving home streaming music over Bluetooth and it did it 4 or 5 times randomly and it played over my car speaker.

The weird thing happened tonight, sitting on my couch, I start to hear a high pitched beeping sound, and I can't tell where it's coming from, I grab my phone and hold it to my ear and sure enough it's the phone. It only went on for less than a minute then stopped. I have no idea what would cause this, no new apps have been installed. Anyone else experiencing something like this?

maybe aliens are trying to contact you. :D :D :D just kidding jay. I haven't encountered that issue yet. Sounds like the issue is coming from the QDAC. you should make a video recording when it happened next time, then return it to LG and show them the video.

It's happening to me too. Just did it about 5 min ago for the 2nd time since I've had the phone. Very annoying.

My LG V20 is doing the same thing. Randomly beeps for 30 seconds or so. It even does it when I'm talking on the phone but the person I'm talking to doesn't hear it. My phone is only like 2 months old. What do I do to fix it?

Any further developments on this issue?

My LG V10 started beeping last night after a battery change. 8 beeps, short pause, repeat. Responds to decreasing the "music, audio, video" volume. Stops if I make a call. Begins again at call end. Continues for an indefinite amount of time then stops. Switched the battery back and tried others. Beeping began again after powering up. Once immediately, once later on. Did this 4 or 5 times last night, 3 times thus far today. Always 8 rhythmic beeps, a pause, and repeat. My phone also started (about a month ago) failing to charge using aftermarket chargers. Will charge fine using stock LG chargers. I've got screen artifacts too, maybe its just time for a Note 8 :D

I meant to add... AT&T. Upgraded to the "new" software that came out today (beeping occurred before and after).

EDIT: Just started beeping again, I pulled up YouTube, started a video, and the beeping stopped when the video audio started... :confused:

EDIT 2: Now, twice, for no reason, random audio has played from my phone... once for 4 or 5 seconds, sounded like a commercial. Second time for just a second, not music. No active apps that had any video or audio playing... Beginning to think my LG V10 is possessed :rolleyes:

Have you tried a factory reset? If it does it after that I would imagine it would have to be a hardware problem then
Not yet. Dread having to do that even more than upgrading.
Never had to factory reset an android. Did with iphones back in the day. I'm thinking that may be the only option to save the phone at this point.
Timing could not be more spot on... Make my last payment on the V10 this month.
On the bright side, if I did upgrade, I would not notice an increased payment... it would just replace the monthly payment on the LG.
