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.

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.

Me too, I think that‘s a problem with Bluetooth profiles on iphones.

I have Bluetooth Speakers with an independent volume control and it doesn’t beep.

My Sennheiser HD 4.40BT controls the iPhone volume and they are beeping.

They were peeping with ios 11.4, with ios 12 and they’re peeping with ios 12.01

I don’t want a peep when one song leads to another! It *****!


And: No, adjusting the volume on the iPhone to Max doesn't help!


So please, verify that as a bug and fix our problem!

I believe the "beeps" are being caused by the file type being used for your music files when you synch your device.


When you attach your device to your computer to synch it, in the left side panel under "Settings" there is an option at the top called "Summary". When you click "Summary", a page opens up. There is a pane for "Backups", and under that there is a pane for "Options" In the options pane, you can check a box that says "Convert higher bit rate songs to 128 kbps AAC. (I believe AAC is an Apple audio format.) I checked that box, and that is when I started hearing the beeps between tracks on my blue-tooth headphones. So I went back in and unchecked the box and re-synched my device, and the beeps stopped.
