This happens to me most days. A white, glowing jump animation appears below the drop ship immediately when the game starts. This starts before anyone can jump. The noise from this is deafening and it is not possible to hear team mates. The animation is continuous and the only way to get away from it is to jump. This has been happening to me since at least Season 3. I can't remember if it happened in season 2 but I definitely never saw it in season 1.

 

I have videos of this happening on the following dates:

 

21st February 20.48.07

29th March 20.28.07 

31st March 21.31.46 (see below)

Attaching a video to a form won't work, only embedding videos works for me.

@PlSTOLSKlN yes again for me today too, london server. Been happening for a while and is well-known, the very loud sharp noise is disconcerting to say the least. Don't know if it happens to everyone in the game or not.

@OldTreeCreeper Out of interest, does this happen when you are Mirage or another character? Just wondering if it has anything to do with Mirage's jump decoys?

@PlSTOLSKlN I usually play wraith, if not available then octane and if not available then pathfinder, seldom mirage usually event or challenge only, so I guess it happens to all legends.

It's the flight paths, there's two or three all originating from the northwest of the map by skyhook.
