Freedom Rush Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 I have a "free" parcel that came with membership. Here is my weird problem: When I go home I hear a song (the same song ) in japanese. It usually plays once, then stops. If I mute all sound I STILL HEAR IT. I know it sounds crazy but I can't figure out where it's coming from, When I leave the parcel it stops playing. Help! It's really annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Process of elimination will help us figure out what is causing this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peewee Musytari Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 Switch on sound beacons and see where the sound is coming from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolig Loon Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 If it only plays once, it may be tough to find. It might be played by a scripted item that you trigger by colliding with it, or maybe by just showing up. You could try highlighting transparent objects in the parcel and going around systematically dragging selection rectangles and hoping to discover a hidden prim that's the culprit. If you have sim manager perms, you can also look in the Top Scripts list for anything that looks out of the ordinary. Unless it's a very large prim, chances are good that it is close to wherever you hear it. Sound from a prim doesn't travel far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Argus Collingwood Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 Do you have windchimes or a welcome mat? Which song does it play? Music? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freedom Rush Posted March 20, 2011 Author Share Posted March 20, 2011 Hi Argus. I did indeed the media and music, and it keeps playing. THAT is what is soooo strange. I'll keep trying things because it's driving me mad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freedom Rush Posted March 20, 2011 Author Share Posted March 20, 2011 I will try that but why do I still hear when I turn all media off? This is what is freaking me out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That suggests that it's not a parcel media or prim media sound, but a scripted one. Suspect something designed as a friendly greeting. As suggested above, maybe a doormat.... ?

Freedom Rush Posted March 20, 2011 Author Share Posted March 20, 2011 I have an update The song is coming from a nearby parcel, not my own. Someone has a youtube video looping, and I'm going to track down the parcel and ask the owner to restrict sound to his land. I can't seem to keep nearby sounds from playing on my land, which is odd, but maybe he or she will cooperate by changing their settings. Am I on the right track here?

Rolig Loon Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 Nice job. Yes, just ask politely and your neighbor ought to restrict sound to his parcel. He has nothing to lose by doing it, and it would be friendly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laetizia Coronet Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 You should also be able to mute the object playing the vid if you can locate it. Right-click should do it. Don't have the exact string of commands in my head right now but you probably know how to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freedom Rush Posted March 21, 2011 Author Share Posted March 21, 2011 update I haven't found the culprit yet, but I like the idea of possibly being able to mute their device if asking nicely doesn't do the trick. Now I just have to find them! I think I'm beginning to hate the concept of receiving a "free" parcel with premium membership, there are other issues here that come with too many people occupying the same location.
