Weird high pitched noise when game is loading?

@EmeraldEyles I am having the same problem on PC

Hi Simfan923,

It is possible that you have a coffee or tea brewer on your lot which sets off this noise when your lot is at the end stage of loading. You will need to delete any tea or coffee brewers that make this noise from your lot to stop the noise.

I have deleted all of mine and the noise has stopped.

@Simfan923 @LeeQuiring and anyone else reading, please try the suggestion of of deleting any coffee or tea makers on the lot and see whether it helps.

@jekkuthebold and @EmeraldEyles  Is this your issue?

If so, please let me know, and I'll merge your posts with the bug thread.  You can also try deleting any coffee or tea brewers on the lot to see whether it helps.

@puzzlezaddict Yes, it's the same, although I also get weird snippets of radio music playing, and sometimes talking as well as the coffee maker sound. I will try deleting coffee and tea brewers in the meantime.

I tested a save earlier for another bug and I got the beep on one lot but not on another and I def get a beep on a lot with the coffee maker. Once deleted there's no beep

(saved the lot without and completely restarted the game).

I tested this too, in a new save in a clean user folder.  I moved my sim to an empty lot and had no beep when traveling back and forth.  Then I added four counters and one coffee pot and heard the beep when traveling back home.  Video:

@EmeraldEyles  Alright, I've merged your posts with the bug thread as well.

@simfan923 I'm experiencing this, too. A high-pitched beep right before the Sims' house or the lot they're traveling to loads. Started happening after the Sims Infant Update. 

But I don't have any mods or CCs
