iOS 11.4: iPhone Music App Beeps Between Songs?

Since upgrading to iOS 11.4 yesterday, there is one beep between each song and two if I skip a song in iPhone Music App (not Apple Music). The beeps were definitely not there before the upgrade.


Anyone know why or how to turn them off??

My iPod Touch 6 (12.1.4) makes beeps between songs on my bathroom cabinet Diamond X K401 rgbaud too. Thanks to AppleCare I am in touch with Apple for more than half a year. The device was even sent to Apple - no success. None of the workarounds in this thread solved the problem.

I tried several music apps, always beeps. But now I found an app that solved my Problem: VOX – MP3 & FLAC Music Player. The free version will do. No more beeps and much nicer and more features than the stock player. I am happy again!

I have the same issue since updating to ios 11.4 last night. Along with the beep, my bluetooth speaker stops playing music and I have to manually hit the volume up button to play more music.


Since this is a new issue with this update and my music played fine yesterday with the previous ios I really don't want to hear from Apple about how this is an issue other than with ios 11.4. It would be completely unreasonable to suggest that the problem is with the speaker as it worked find with ios 11.3 yesterday. This has effectively bricked my bluetooth speaker and I would find it unreasonable to suggest that I purchase a different speaker to resolve this issue.


A timely fix from Apple would be appreciated. I find music vital to helping me get through my workday smoothly and streaming music throughout my office over my speaker is the way I do that. As I said, my speaker is now an expensive brick that will only play one song at a time with an annoying beep at the end. Unless, that is, I am willing to walk to the speaker and hit the volume button after every song.

The other thing I noticed is that it really is a beep before every song, not just between. Select any song to play you get the beep and it starts playing, and then before every song it plays. Select a new song during playback; beep, song starts. It's the same beep you hear when you change the volume.


On another older thread about beeping and bluetooth someone said that turning off System Haptics (under Settings\Sounds And Haptics) fixed their issue. Just for kicks I tried it - didn't work for me.


I also noticed they already pushed an 11.4.1 update to beta. I hope that they are aware of this an the fix is in there.

If I am listening to a song and then skip to the next one, I get two beeps.


And this is only on my Bluetooth audio system in the car. I going to reach out to the manufacturer of that system today and report back.


And I'd also like to take this opportunity to than Apple for the complete lack of input to this site, or even for 2nd level tech participation. This seems like an excellent place to discover issues and enhancements for their products for nothing. So thanks, Apple. We all really appreciate the opportunity to scratch around in the dark with no help from you.

Just want to add my input. First, thank you boulderskies@ck for posting this note and letting Apple Music users know that there is nothing that can be done to eliminate the beeps. The beeps are really annoying! I spent about an hour trying to figure what was going on and finally found your post. I hope this defect is fixed soon.


Really find it hard to believe that Apple could have allowed this fundamental flaw to escape on iOS 11.4.
