Default Mysterious 4 Random Beeps?

I have a BB style 9670 Sprint. It is driving me crazy!!!! There four (4) mysterious beeps that goes off randomly. No my battery is not low its full, I erased ALL emails even though I did not want to, ALL text are gone, No social media notices, NO voicemails visual or otherwise. What the heck is this!! I thought it was a service status beep, but I don't see anything on my phone to change this option, so I couldn't have set it by mistake.

Can someone, anyone! please tell me what these beeps are. Sprint was no help at all via phone, I hate to have to go in and wait an hour.

THANKS!

do any of your icons on the 'all' screen have a red notification asterisk next to them? make sure to hit 'show all' before you check.

this is strange, what do the beeps sound like? hope you solve this..

Never had this issue with mine, sorry....do you have any apps installed that might cause it?

No other Apps installed, I have only had my phone for about 1 month. I have no new messages or *starred* items. I know this is so strange, I found another link via a google search with multiple ppl having the same problem, but no one has figured it out yet.

I actually think I've heard this two or three times on my Style. Had it since November. I couldn't account for the sound, either.

Also, possibly silly question, but do you have the most recent OS?

This has been happening to me too and it is soooo annoying (I have a BB Curve 8330 with Sprint).
It started about a week ago. Four random quick beeps, that sound almost like I am connected to a call, and the beeps are faint like a button is being pressed quickly or call waiting is coming through. Its kind of hard to describe, but its definitely not a loud beep like you'd hear with the other notifications. Every time it happens, I look to see if I accidentally made a call.
We just got an Airvana Airave, so I thought that might be the cause of it, but its not happening to my husband's phone at all (his is identical). I too am baffled.

This might be a dumb question, but are any of you who are having this problem doing anything with the phone when this beeping happens? Or is the phone just sitting on the table? Neither myself or my wife have experienced this beeping with our Style's. I found a ringtone that I downloaded from BlackBerry that is 4 beeps. This is probably just a coincidence and unlikely the source since you would've had to download this as well, but it is called "BBPro_Priority1". If you did download this ringtone, look in your settings and see if it is assigned to a function and maybe that is what is beeping?

I think I have a solution. I played with settings and suddenly mine was doing this! Check social feeds-optons-display-notification settings and make SURE BOTH are unchecked. Also, if they are unchecked, check them, save settings, and the uncheck and save.
Try this

I HAVE the 9670/6.0.0.600 --- and experienced the beeps also...... And found that my PROFILE had automatically switched to NORMAL, in which I keep it on silent all the time......so my guess!!! Check your profiles, and to add.....I thinks its just a tone in your ringtones.....but maybe I'm still wrong......pin:328517EE. Add me 9670 'ers

My phone makes a sound (can't remember which one) when it is fully charged. I don't have it set to do much with social feeds because all I have is Twitter.

I uninstalled social feeds from day one, maybe that explains why I haven't heard this beeping...

Default Annoying Random Beeps

Has anyone figured out this problem? I have been trying to figure this out for the longest time now, probably at least 6 months! I've had my BB for more than 2 years. But then all of a sudden it started to make 4 quick beeps not loud. Sometimes several times a day and sometimes I don't notice it all. I have the sprint airave and I think I noticed that it started to happen once we got that but I'm not sure. It reminds me of the old call waiting notification for a land line not a cell phone. I almost think its a notification that indicates service or network connection. I have my phone profile set to quiet. I have checked all of the tones. I don't have any exceptions set. I do not have any social feeds. I've uninstalled almost every app at some point or another to see if that would cause it. I don't use BB messenger or any other messengers services. I removed them all. I have checked all the settings. So if anyone has discovered the solution I would be very grateful!
