Repeating “Boop” sound

2020 MacBook Pro M1

macOS Monterey 12.0.1


In the last month, when idle, MacBook repeatedly plays the “boop” sound 31 times exactly. Several minutes later it will do it again 31 times each time separated by a few minutes. It will repeat until interrupted by moving the magic mouse or keying the magic keyboard (both well-charged).

MacBook Pro (2020 and later)

hmmm...what did you change to cause the issue?


To trouble shoot further you can:


—Try a SafeBoot https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201262



Takes noticeable longer to get to the login screen, does a 5 minute disk repair before it fully boots up, and certain system caches get cleared and rebuilt, including dynamic loader cache, etc.

Login and test. Reboot as normal and test. Caches get rebuilt automatically.


In Safe mode third party system modifications and system accelerations are disabled, it removes malware, etc hampering smooth operation, however a reboot will put it back to normal mode.


This test will tell you if third party interference; extensions etc are not loaded in safe boot mode.
