Users are complaining about the unnecessary Facebook chirping noise sounding off on their mobile devices. To make Facebook feel user-friendly and interactive, Meta makes certain actions create an automatic sound effect. While this may be an appealing user-interface feature for some, others may want to stop hearing the Facebook noise while scrolling on mobile.
How to stop Facebook from chirping when scrolling to Refresh the feed
To stop the Facebook chirping noise, users should disable in-app sounds.
To disable in-app sounds, users should:
- Open the Facebook app on mobile
- Tap your profile picture
- Select the cogwheel symbol in the top-right
- Select “Media” found beneath “Preferences”
- Disable “In-app sound”
Disabling “In-app sound” will turn off all in-app noises, including the Facebook chirping noise. However, this will only affect sound effects in the app while audio in posted videos will run as usual. To get sounds to play again, simply enable the “In-app sound.”
Additionally, putting your phone into Silent Mode should disable all in-app sounds by default. This can be a good option for those who want all apps to remain silent and don’t want notifications to sound.
Unfortunately, the ability to disable the chirping sound is buried deep within multiple layers of settings menus. Therefore, it might be tough for many users to find. Hopefully they find the above instructions to help solve the issue.
Why is Facebook making a noise when scrolling?
Facebook is making a noise when scrolling because of a recent update to the mobile app. Once iOS and Android users have updated the application on their device, they will begin to hear chirping sounds while scrolling by default.
While Facebook likely added this feature as a way to enhance the scrolling experience, some are clearly finding it annoying. Thankfully, the chirping sound can be disabled by following the instructions listed in the section above.
