Getting weird static noise in the Forest

Hi! Can anyone help me? I popped into the Forest this evening and I seem to be getting a weird, and quite painful static sound wherever I go. I can't seem to find anyone else on either. The little icon in the corner is green so I would assume I'm not having any connection issues. I've tried closing the program and restarting a couple times, but that doesn't seem to help. I've never come across this before.

Anyone know what this is and how to fix it?

I don't think I've ever had this sort of thing happen to me before... Only thing I can think of is possibly try and restart your computer overall? Hopefully that'll help out...

Restarting my computer is such a hassle! It was kinda my last resort. Ugh, but it seems to have fixed whatever was going on. Thanks Smiling

If anyone has any idea as to why this happened, I'd love to here it so I can try to avoid it in the future.

I had a similar issue a

I had a similar issue a couple years back when I got Windows Vista, I think it was. It was the sound of the Crying Idol no matter where I was in the Forest. I think running as administrator and tweaking a couple of options on the back end is what finally ended up working to fix it. Don't know what would cause it to happen spontaneously, though. Maybe another program updated and didn't get along with the Forest client?

@retrogradenova AAAAH, I

@retrogradenova AAAAH, I understand... I also had to restart my laptop not too long ago due to a minor glitch I was experiencing... You're welcome, though! But, I really do hope there's an answer to this sort of thing!

If you have an operating

If you have an operating system later than XP you can also try running in compatibility mode if you don't already. Sounds like a strange bug.
