Hi, this is hard to describe with out the sound file, but basically my phone when turning on plays a sound at random, it lasts for about 1sec and has 4 syllables if you get my meaning a bit like 1 ...2-3-4 or Do De-dah-Do (this isn't a silly post I promise XD)
At first I thought it was a few programs I installed, someone told me it could the the THD pinball game, un-installed that but it is still there.
Has anyone else encountered a "similar" issue? It interrupts some programs or games and is very annoying and its beinging to drive me insane; at one point I thought it was malware or a virus so I McAfee scanned it in case (maybe there are other better alts but please suggest).
Oh, I will also add when this happens when looking at desktop the top menu bar sometimes goes green.
Any ideas? Please save my sanity.
kind regards

Hello, don't know if it will help but green flashing bar looks like a phone call notification ...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1674783
I remembered to hear some strange sound and i recognized your Do De-dah-Do
but can't remember how i solved the problem ... or even if it solved itself ... sorry.
Instead of "random" you wanted to say "sporadic". Sound is still the same "tone" ?

Hi, yes I would probably say more sporadic than anything else and yes this sound is always the same, I never notice this in call though so I have no idea which app is trying to notify me; its notifying me to uninstall it when I find out what it is!

By turning on, do you mean unlock the device or turn it on after being turned fully off?

When I unlock the device, so its already on and then the sound at "some" point will start maybe 2-3 times then stop. Its so random I cant even pin point it. When in opera, desktop and other apps this sound will appear and cause mayhem.

Silly question... Do you have the Zelda Gate of Time Live Wallpaper installed?

Yeah, it's strange. I know it'll take awhile but it might be a good idea to look at any/all recently installed Apps and look at their Permissions. See if any of them say anything about making alerts, then force close them if they do and see if the issue persists.

Does it by any chance happen when your phone is sitting over your wallet?
I was getting the same sound randomly and drove me nuts. Then realized that it's the NFC kicking in when the phone is near my "blink" chipped credit card.
i'm sure i read a post exactly like this and it turned out it was nfc, make sure it's turned off and see if it continues.
Nfc or perhaps the roaming sound is on?

Sorry for late reply and thank you so much for your input.
Yes people, it is the NFC! The phone resides in a wallet and my works id card on the other side. When I read the phone I fold the cover over and hence this sound. Do I feel stupid? Yes 100% I only hope that maybe some people can learn from my inherent stupidity and thus the madness that was slowly but surely setting in.

My HTC lights itself on and off automatic. It goes from Stand By to light then stand by again. It's terribly scary because I think there are ghosts in the house. But it does not exist because the house is newly built and I find one with the same problem that was spoken of writing on this page. I have not found the thread and therefore I made my own.

dafuq did i just read?
check if some app isn't triggering device screen. In 90% of the cases that is the problem. Have you installed any new app recently after which it started to happen?
On my dad's phone a device lock screen app was the reason. Check if you have any such apps.

It happen after I downloaded the game "Defender II" and "Feed your Dino". Maybe I I'll try to uninstall them and see what happens after that?
It is very scary and cant nothing about phones..

Just because your house is new, doesn't mean it isn't haunted.
Back on topic though, you could have a dodgy power button. Mine has gone a bit dodgy, it takes a few presses for it to register. Perhaps yours is over-sensitive.
Ok guys, here is my problem. when ever i shake or make a quick movement with my phone if will make a strange sound. i can't figure out how to turn this feature off, and the bad part is that sometimes it will do it and sometimes not.. just watch this video and it will explain.

it will do it on home screen or any screen as long as the screen is turned on and the phone shakes it will make that sound.. i just went through all the audio folders under system media and can't find that sound any where..
It has to be with one of your settings options you use if it also did it in the stock rom then

Thats awesome...your unique. You are the lucky recipient of Samsung's million'th GS3 don't ever try to stop it
I'm having exactly the same problem, except I have an HTC Desire HD and it only started about a week ago. Have gone through all my files on my phone and can't find the sound anywhere, really starting to annoy me as well. Given the problem seems to be across manufacturers I am guessing it must be an app or something that has a bug. PM me if you want to compare what apps are on our phones and see if we can narrow down what might be causing it.

So, i got some good advise from one of the developers of the rom im using. his suggestion was to not install any of the samsung apps that come pre loaded on the phone. so i reflashed the rom i was using and chose not to install any of the samsung apps and guess what? it stopped. no more annoying sounds when im walking down the hall at work. but like you were suggesting it has to be app related but i couldn't for the life of me pinpoint which one it was. hopefully that will help you a little and give you some direction.
Hi all, heres the story:
At first, I thought I was loosing my mind, I kept checking my phone and the WiFi was always off, which is weird for me.
Anyway I turn it back on and go about my day, check half an hour later its off.
I was like "im sure I turned that back on" anyway same again half an hour later.
So I was watching it this dinner, and low and behold I watch both my WiFi and my network connections restart themselves like someone was switching them on and off, but the WiFi didn't re-connect and stayed off, wereas data re-connected ok.
It goes on ! I then realised that my phone was calling people by itself, which is also weird as theres no buttons to accidently press to call people? (ITS TOUCHSCREEN!!!)
Anyway, today I recieved a text off someone asking me why the heck I'd just sent them map co-ordinates.
So someone or my phone is sending people map co-ordinates....
The ONLY thing I can think of is Cerberus, could Cerberus be causing this?
Is this the phone telling me its on its way out?
Any solutions?
THANKS ALL !
You have kind of answered your own question. Just uninstall Cerberus and see if it fixes it.

As stated before, I will try removing Cerberus but would like any information or suggestions please.
Malware? Maybe you installed an app that's malicious.

Thanks for all your reponses, thats the thing I'm really picky over apps, and havent really installed an app for months on my HOX, as I generally do everything on my N7 now.
UPDATE:
I un-installed Cerberus, cleared cache and tried to find any left behind data(wasnt any?)
Also deleted my device off the Cerberus app website
LOW AND BEHOLD THIS MORNING CONNECTIONS TURN OFF AND ON?!?!?!
What can be doing this? I only have apps from trusted Vendors such as Natwest, Vodaphone, couple of games, Tasker etc :/
Any ideas?
Can it be Tasker? It's supposed to automate tasks. Maybe there are some causing all this. Try freezing it.

I also thought it could be tasker, but Tasker has been setup for months and months, and not changed for atleast 2/3 months+
I checked tasker, and theres only 3 profiles, which have nothing to do with any connections.
They're profiles such as, plug headphones in and music player appears.
PS - Cannot freeze, stock and un-rooted.
My mate had similar issues with his SGS2. Upon examining the phone I discovered an app called Blackmart Alpha, I discovered it was a program which downloads cracked/patched apps. Did a hard reset of the phone and all was fixed, well not all, he was very pi$$ed with me for losing a heap of apps.

I know where your coming from mate, but this is not me.
I enjoy supporting the developers that make apps, and if that means buying a paid version of an app then so be it.
I don't download any dodgey things, all my downloads are through the play store.
Bah this is pickling me
Latest thing I downloaded was quadrant benchmark (week ago?)

From a quick glance at the play store, it looks like it prevents the phone from knowing that it has been plugged into a dock. There's a free trial.

i would power down the phone, boot it back up and monitor it over the next 24 hours. see if it was a one-time thing, if it starts on its own, or at least you might find out what app triggers it based on when it started again and what app you most recently used
Having the touch sound on can trigger this as well.
i will try disabling touch sounds, reboot and monitor. thx for the advice guys
update: only ten minutes after reboot w/ touch and dialpad sound off the audiout_2 wl DRASTICALLY decreased. kinda sux not having them on BUT a small price to pay to save battery. thx guys
