Egon Rothschild Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 So ... I've never set up music on any land I've owned. However, a few days ago I started hearing music. It consists of a few commercials then a few songs that are repeated endlessly. Both MEDIA and SOUND are blank. I hear it both in FireStorm and SL Viewer. My alts hear it also. Any suggestions on how to find and eliminate this? Thanks in advance, Egon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diamond Marchant Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 It's likely coming from a neighbor. Try checking the checkbox pointed to by the yellow arrow below. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks in advance, Egon If the sound is coming from an object, the above setting will fix it for you --- BUT, if you like hearing other sounds (nature and such that might be around) that setting will also silence those for you. If it is coming from Media on someone else's land, I'm not sure the above setting will handle it. You can possibly use Firestorm Area Search to track down the offending object and block it. There is a sound search also, I think, but not sure how that works or if it would be useful here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egon Rothschild Posted August 4, 2022 Author Share Posted August 4, 2022 Thanks Diamone & LittleMe. I've had "Restrict gesture and object sounds ..." checked already. I toggled it off and on. No change. I only have one neighbor and she has no sound on her land. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No change. As I found out recently this checkmark in land settings doesn't affect media playing from some object outside your parcel. (Neighbors forgot to turn music on their yacht off, we were very puzzled where the extra music stream is coming from). Quick way to check if your case is media related or not - toggle off and back on playing media sounds in your viewer's settings. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seicher Rae Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 I hope you post back what the problem/solution was. I'm intrigued. I have no life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ceka Cianci Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 I wonder if they are wearing something that has sound in it.. like those huds that you get from shopping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope, you were talking about sound and media restricted to the parcel setting earlier, I just went over the whole thread and checked. The setting I am talking about is play media sound in sound settings. Or as in ChinRey shown in screenshot for full settings menu. These two settings handle different things.

Thank you both, ChinRey and June. The problem may be moot. It's been two days since I've been in SL. I've been in-game now for almost two hours. No mystery music. Maybe there was a sim reset and that solved the problem. Again, thanks to all for your input. Egon 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conifer Dada Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 I had a similar problem a long time ago, a sound like dark Gothic choral music that kept repeating. I managed to find the object the sound came from (a card table) and block it. So maybe try and find the object emitting the sound (with "show transparent" enabled in case it's invisible), and then block it. The sound often gets louder as you get closer to the object. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, Conifer, but I already said that is disappeared. I assume a region restart removed it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
