Shopify inbox Chat Bot - Noise

Ok,

So I have been trying to find a random beep that is coming from my browser and it is only happening when I have Shopify open.

When developing a theme and hot reloading or reloading there is a beep, it seems to be related to the “Chat” Shopify inbox Chat.

Has anyone else found this or know this to be the case?

If so can someone please for the love of not destroying my day give the option to turn the noise off?

Every flipping reload!

FYI love the new functionality and the customers like it too!

Hey @JSMcAvady - thanks for flagging this and glad to hear that you’re enjoying Inbox other than the beep you’re hearing :sweat_smile: .

Could you share the affected shop’s .myshopify.com domain and confirm whether the beep also happens in an incognito/private window? It would also be helpful to know which browser you’re using. Is it only happening in the theme editor or also on the live site?

Once I have that, I’ll see if I can reproduce it on our end and loop back here.

Hey sorry, just seen this, been away on annual leave. I will get the info as soon as possible.

URL - rigging-uk.myshopify.com

Browser - Chrome - Version 151.0.7922.109 (Official Build) (64-bit)

Can confirm happens for me in private browser, happens on both the editor and live.

Happens both when signed into and not signed into “Chat”; Shopify inbox app as a customer.

I have removed all browser extensions and turned off all notification sounds for the browser and windows.

-- Steps –

Go to the site as a customer would, and “wait for a beep”.

Hey @JSMcAvady, thanks for all the extra details and the video, really appreciate it. I tested this on the live site with the chat both open and closed across several reloads, but I wasn’t able to reproduce the beep on my end.

Could you reproduce it once more and share the exact timestamp, including your timezone? I can use that to check our logs and see if anything stands out around that event.

Hey thank you!

I opened up process monitor and tried to filter out all the noises I could and it seems to be defiantly browser related. though I could not find a trace in the the procmon.exe for the initialisation of a sound.

Really getting to me, as you can understand, I will persist and get you I hope a time stamp of when.

if I could “reverse match” the sound like a google image that would be a great start, though I tried and it is to generic a sound :face_in_clouds: .

Thanks again for this!

No worries @JSMcAvady - definitely get where you’re coming from. I’ll keep this thread open so feel free to ping me when you can. Happy to look into this more for sure.
