A beep? Hmm. That doesn't sound like anything like Spotify's normal behaviour. Are you playing just out of your laptop, or are you using a different program to play wirelessly elsewhere?

Do you have any other programs up that might make a noise? Things like TweetDeck, Google Chat, Skype, MSN, so on.

Thanks for replying,but it occurs when no other program is open on my laptop

Mac or Windows?

I've now been consistently hearing "Windows-like" beeps in my Spotify stream for the last few weeks.

 

These beeps sound like message pop-ups, or notification pop-ups as they occur in the Windows OS. I've ensured they are not coming from my computer. The beeps only occur once in the same spot. If I restart a track the noise doesn't occur in the same spot or at all.

 

It's annoying and consistent. I'm running Spotify on 3 Macs. These beeps have occured on every machine.

 

Any resolution or insight would be appreciated.

I never figured out what caused the problem but I did a System Restore and that fixed the problem. Good Luck

Are you saying you did a system restore of your operating system? Or deleted and re-installed the Spotify client?

I did a system restore of the operating system. When I deleted and reinstalled Spotify nothing changed. Good Luck
