Help with random noise from MT4

[[Deleted]]

something has changed in MT4 for me

with any EA attached, it makes a noise every pip which sounds a little like a telephone ring.

there is nothing in the code to cause this.

Can someone help me stop it ?

tools -> options -> events The sounds are independent of the EA

To come back to this....

I am sure there is a problem. The noise is only made with each pip when the EA is attached to the chart. When I turn off the EA, the noise stops.

I will try reinstalling the program....

I think you Alert is going off repeatedly . . . disable it, re-compile and try again.

[John Obermaier]

mine is doing the same! turned all the events and alerts off, its very irritating
