Hi all, Does anyone beside me and the guy from the Youtube [![Video: Battlefield 1 Screeching Bug](https://battlefieldforum.co/uploads/default/original/3X/f/f/ff86555a6f5d6ed9c31c4e66a327298ef8eb0180.jpeg "Battlefield 1 Screeching Bug") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=20etKhu6FP8) video experienced this weird ceiling lamp sound bug? My friends whom I play with do not have this issue. Its a really horrible sound, and it hurts my ears so badly I need to run away from the location. My first thought was that my audio drivers might be outdated, but they are up to date. My second thought was maybe a game file is corrupted so I used the ‘repair game’ option in Origin. But nothing was wrong with my game files Any solutions? Please DICE fix this or help me locate the source of this issue Many thanks ! ---

> [@Axutin](#): > > Got it today and holy. \*\*\* it hurt my ears. Was using headphones and… it really hurts… believe me. It happened on monte grappa c flag Hi, What kind of headphones are you using? I’m using the HyperX Cloud II. Just to make sure we don’t use the same ones and its a headphone issue 😛 ---

[UPDATE] I just tested it a little more and it has nothing to do with the headphones, the sounds is also coming though my speakers which use the Realtek audio drivers and the headphone(HyperX Cloud II) is connected via USB and uses its own drivers. Maybe it has to do with the (early enlist)deluxe edition?? All my friends have the standard edition. EA/DICE fix this please 😄 ---

Hi **kwadie** , I experienced that screeching sound too, it was horrible ☹ Once I was in the same spot, in which the guy was in the video [![Video: Battlefield 1 Screeching Bug](https://battlefieldforum.co/uploads/default/original/3X/f/f/ff86555a6f5d6ed9c31c4e66a327298ef8eb0180.jpeg "Battlefield 1 Screeching Bug") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=20etKhu6FP8) . Another occurrence was in a building, I don’t know on which map - I’m still learning the maps… It’s happening with BF1 standard with onboard Realtek® ALC887 audio + Samson SR850. It must be some setting in the audio config IMO. ---

**[UPDATE 1-nov-2016]** I talked with EA and they are aware of the issue and they are working on a fix. No ETA so far on when they will patch this. EA chat: ![GZx5Z6z.png](https://battlefieldforum.co/uploads/default/original/3X/e/0/e02072cdfe76234b2d18bbfdc9c5a2968f24dd5b.png) ---

Maybe it’s a Halloween update… Hope it gets fixed, it’s enough to have all these clown alerts. ---

[UPDATE 11-19-2016] The issue still exists after the FALL update of Battlefield 1. The patch notes mentioned something about: Fix for a problem where ragdoll screams on velocity can start stuttering if a series of ragdoll impacts happen in succession. So I was hoping this was related to the screeching sound of the ceiling lamp. Bad luck I guess. I hope they will fix this !! ---

I got it as well. I noticed at the start of the game that sound SFX sounded muted, then got the noise that just wouldn’t go, like a gurgling screech. Had to quit. Bled into TS. I had it a couple of times on BF4 (completely different rig) so I have seen this bug before. ---

Anyone find a fix for this yet? It’s still happening for me. Annoying as hell on headphones. Only fix for me so far is to just avoid those areas on the map. Not really a practical fix IMO. Lol. I used a Sen gsx 1000 and game one headset. So it’s defiantly not asus soundcards only. It’s defiantly somewhere in the game. ---

id like to know the areas on what maps, it has never happened to me at all, and considering its approaching 7 months since anyone posted in this thread, its unlikely to be widespread. but if you can say the areas it happens on at least some of us can see if it happens to us ---

I am going crazy with this sounds, it occurs in every map that has this lamp! ---

It can occur on every location where a ceiling mounted lamp is located. It think is has something to do with the movement of the lamp in rappid occurence creating this horrible screeching sound. A good location is point B inside the bunker of the Monte Grappa map Or every bunker on that map. It moslty occurs in bunkers. ---

Objective B at Argonne Forest is by far the most annoying place to be when this happens. ---

Monte Grappe is one of my favourite maps too… There must be something that causes it, but if it happens so rarely it’s certainly going to be an awkward thing to track down. ---

I’ve only had this happen inside D on Monte Grappa. It hasn’t happened to me since an update a while back. ---

I can also say that I’ve only seem to have this issue in bunkers. I generally don’t spend much time in bunkers on most maps except one where it seems to happen the most for me. Which is the main bunker in the middle of the map on verdun heights. The dlc map. I first noticed this issue playing front lines on that map. Where in the beginning the two teams clash at that point and can be stuck there fighting over the first point for a while. While in the bunker the screeching starts out light and builds it way up to ear piercing levels. I’ve noticed that leaving the bunker stops it but returns soon as you enter back in. It can get so loud on my headset I litterlly have only two options. 1. Take my headset off. Or 2. Leave the bunker. I thought it was my gsx 1000 being wonky but it seems that’s not the case as others are reporting it. I have not done much testing myself. And untill finding this post I did not make any coralation with the lights. Only thing that stood out was it happens in bunkers. Never anywhere else. I just avoided going to bunkers. Lol. Glad to see it’s not just me. ---
