How to turn off the ‘chirp’ sound on Facebook while scrolling
Facebook users couldn’t be more annoyed with the ‘chirp’ sound the app is making when they are scrolling, but you can turn the feature off in a few simple steps.
A significant number of users have taken to X/Twitter, hoping to find a solution to the irritating refresh sound they have been hearing constantly.
Why does my Facebook ‘chirp’ when I scroll?
The sound heard by the majority of Facebook users on the app is a refresh notification, that goes off each time you scroll the newsfeed.
While users think it is a glitch that needs to be fixed, it is an in-app feature and can be turned off yourself.
Some users while flagging the issue, have claimed that they’ve been hearing the sound for almost a week. And according to some of the other users, the notification started to appear more frequently after they updated their Facebook app.
