Every 15 minutes a whoosh sound plays from my new iPad

A whoosh sound sounds like an app is sending a message, or trying to tell you something.

( funny sounds always end up being rouge apps)

To doulble tap the home button and see, or close down everything in the task bar. See if the noise stops. If that does not do it, open settings and look at each of the notifications that you might have turned on.

It's in there somewhere. there was a great thread last year on strange app sounds. From mr. luigi.

If you have the time, here is the link to the post.

I have the same problem on my iPhone 4S, and I strugle with that issue for quite a while.

I've turned off all notifications, all Location Services and even all System Services (under location services).

I also changed the "send mail" sound from "Whoosh" to other sound, and the Fetch New Data to Off (under Mail, Contacts, Calendar)...

ALL of these actions haven't helped at all. The Whoosh continues as before...

Only when the device is setto Airplane Mode, the Whoosh stops, but resumes immediately at the moment the Airplane Mode is turned off again... Then it backs to whoosh every 15 minutes on the hour...

Any Idea ?

So funny. My iPad 1 keeps doing that exact thing. It's a big joke between my me and my wife now. So far I have no clue what's causing it, because I'm not sending any mail.

So far I haven't been inclined to figure it out. But I guess that I should. 🙂

I have the whooshing sound every 15 minutes. It is slightly different to the sent mail sound. I have closed all apps by the double click of home button, I have turned off all apps in Notifications and I have switched the iPad off completely and on again. I still have the whoosh every 15 minutes.

Unbeleiveable !

After upgrading from iOS 5.01 to 5.1 to 6.1 in which the Whoosh never stopped on my iPhone 4S, I found that the weather application named Celsius is the source for that disturbing periodic sound...

After the removal of that application, it becomes a bit quiet around me...

Definitely not solved.

Silencing the whoosh sound fixes nothing. It is making the sound for a reason. The real question is how to identify and eliminate the problem, not how to hide the symptom.

One thing I discovered is that an email that I originally sent 9 months ago is being sent over and over to the same recipient, sometimes as many as three or four times a day. They have received dozens of copies of this. My phone does not list any of these transmissions in the sent mail folder. There is no record of these transmissions when accessing the email account via a browser. It represents some form of corruption that I can't trace.

I completely wiped and restored my phone but the problem persists.

If you want to stop the woosh noise, go into your settings, go to sounds and find the sent mail and change the noise, or just lower all the sound to off.

That's the easy part. The hard part is finding out which app was doing whatever it was doing every 15 minutes. Now, start turning stuff back on until you find the culprit.

One other possibility. Do you have iCal (with email reminders) synced to your ipad, or simply as preset reminders?

No. Nothing like that is installed 😕

Just curious...do you have Skype installed on your iPad?

I do have Skype installed on my iPhone 4S...
