What happens when the bug occurs? In the Ring Fury game mode, the "sizzling" sounds of the Ring Flares (which sounds like when entering it) play across the map. Similar to the Crypto Drone in Caustic Gas bug from Season 6.
What should be happening instead? It should only play when I'M IN a Ring Flare.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Go into a game of Ring Fury and play. You'll hear it.

‌

This is an annoying sound bug that needs to be patched ASAP.

Hi everyone,

This issue should have been fixed in today's patch. If you're still hearing the ring flares or heat shields from all the way across the map can you let me know? 

Thanks!

There is also this loud sound that suddenly plays while you're far away from the flares. Really weird.

What happens when the bug occurs? I can´t hear anything because of these new "woosh woosh" sounds everywhere. It sounds like a mixture of these new red zones and the power plants being activated. Another thing is that I can´t hear mastiffs when somebody is shooting me from above. I think the soundcue is heavily overloaded with a lot of stuff that should not be there, because I was being killed with any sound at all. Another Issue: lifelines drone gets destroyed in heat shields? Is this intended? And Watson does not make any step sounds and mastiff sounds are missing
What should be happening instead? The sound cue should work properly?
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Play the game... I cannot give you a better reproduce workflow since it is nearly every game. For more information, you can contact me on my @ZnPeee

Please fix that! 

I can try to record one game.

What happens when the bug occurs? Loud whirring noise from all around with no discernable point of origin. Definitely not intentional as it was louder than gunshots and voicelines. It made focusing or listening for ques impossible.
What should be happening instead? No random loud environmental sounds.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? It just happened from the moment I hit the ground every 15 seconds or so and escalated to every few seconds after a while.

‌

I hope this is not a widespread bug and an easy fix as it was debilitating to listen to while I was trying to play and happened in my first two games of the day.

I tried to upload a clip of this bug but the file size is too big no matter how short I trim the video and a zipped file is unsupported.
