Weird "air, piston" sounds when playing Apex Legends

★★ Novice

There sometimes is a weird sound, like air moving in a machine, and it happens randomly troughout the match and it's annoying when it happens in a fight... It happens in 3-4 diffrent tones, it sound a bit like when you open a loot bin or take some crafting materials from the little "things"... Please look into it

Hey @P2_JustForYou can you be more specific as to just what it is or even grab a recording of it?


Are you sure that it is in-game and not something on your system? That said, on what platform are you having the issue?

@EA_Darko I have the issue on ps4. Sounds somewhat like some one is in lava when you're no where near lava. Also can sound like an air brake on a semi being taken off.

You can somewhat hear it towards the end of the video. This was pretty mild compared to other times.

Thanks for the clip. I'm pretty sure I've had this myself and dismissed it as a teammate faffing around.

There have been bugs in the past where certain sounds would play for the whole lobby rather than in a specific location, and some specific locations on the map where different weird sounds happen, so either of these could be a factor. 

It's kind of hard to tell from the clip, but when it happened to you did it sound like something happening in the environment, or a sound emanating from inside/behind the player character?

This is happening all the time for a lot of players I've been talking to. Either it's random footsteps or random lava burn sounds.
