ECG App Making Wild Noise

Interesting one here… I’ve searched all over google for someone else experiencing this and I haven’t found anything. Just today my Apple Watch started making this insane loud “aliens coming down from the mothership” noise while taking an ECG. The sound even changes with the rhythm of my heart. It gets louder and quieter real-time with the electrical pulse from my heart. I’ve taken dozens of ECGs and this has never happened. I’ve searched the settings for something and, perhaps I’m missing it, but I don’t see anything there either.


What I’ve done so far:


Restarted. No change.

Checked for update. No updates available.


Taken an ECG on my wife’s wrist. Still does it.

Apple Watch Series 6, watchOS 8
