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??

I had this issue with my Bluetooth in the car. It ended out being a warning that my volume on the phone was up all the way.


Turned the volume down a bit on the phone and the beep (between songs) went away immediately.

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.

I seriously almost threw away my bluetooth speaker box. It was beeping between every song and then it started to beep randomly in the middle of the song and lose bluetooth connection. This has to be fixed. I am going nuts! I need my speaker box and music while chilling at the pool doing nothing. I want to do nothing, not even re-establish my bluetooth every 2 minutes or listen to beeps! Please help Apple, I have too much invested in you.

Interesting! I have a Bose Bluetooth, which I feed into my MacIntosh preamp. I get the beeps every few seconds, only with Apple Music, while streaming, and only while a song is playing. It doesn’t happen with my iPhone library, and it doesn’t happen streaming Spotify. And it only happens when I’m pairing music to theBose - not in the headphones, for example. It is ruining Neil Young!!

Thank you very much for your reply!

So it works if I turn the volume at Max and KEEP it at max: The beep is gone.

But it blows my ears away, it's far too loud!


I connected my Phones to an iphone X and IOS 12.1 (a beta version) and there was no beep between the songs.

I don't know if there is no beeping sound because of the iphoneX OR because of the new IOS-Version.


I think there are a lot of people with our beeping problem, there are a lot of forums around and a lot of people just don't care enough.

Using fix suggested is not working for me:

- Volume max on iPhone: I don't want to deaf yet. Anyway beep still sounds.

- After that, min volume on headphones: Beep still sounds while decreasing volume... No matter headphones has an independent volume control or not.

- After that, control volume with headphones: Still beeping, no matter if it has and independent volume control or not.


Volker W. Hautsch, do you think iOS12.1 (beta) is fixing beeping problem? I don't have an iPhoneX but if the beta is fixing the problem maybe we have to wait some weeks to have iOS 12.1 released and then forget about beeping problem!

Hello,

I don't know if IOS 12.1 is the solution for our beeping problem!

It could be, that the iPhone X to which I connected once my Sennheisers solved the problem.

I for myself I'm using an iPhone 8 and IOs 12.01 with the beeping problem.


Perhaps there is someone working for apple who could tell us if apple is working for a solution (in IOS 12.1 or later)!

I have this issue on my iPhone SE, I recently upgraded to IOS 12.01 and it is still occuring. I happens on 2 different Bluetooth headsets and only within iTunes. I use the podcast app and other media apps and none of them do this. The headsets work great on other devices (laptop and an Android phone). The battery on both devices show fully charged and the volume is not high, usually 6 or 7.


This is getting extremely annoying, Apple please fix this!
