loud beep using bushes, dropper

[kat]

I get a loud beep changing between brush & dropper, sometimes. I'm using a waccom 6.

The sound is irritating. Anybody know what the cause of the sound is and how to stop it?

How are you changing between tools, are you clicking with the pen on the icons in the tool palette or are you using keyboard shortcuts? This is most likely a 'system beep' that is telling you that a keypress or some mouse (pen) click is not valid. Another cause is that you may have a dialog box open somewhere which needs attention.

There is almost no chance that it could be anything else.

I never noticed a beep when switching tools ( @kat, do you get it with click only or with keyboard shortcut, too?) – but I get the typical macOS error beep + the according white screen flash whenever I click the quality slider of the PDF export JPG compression rate. Not occasionally only and not when opening the slider but with every single click on the slider, reproducable any time. Just useless and annoying.

It's when I switch brush, dropper, @thomaso. I'm having a lot of trouble keeping my Intuos 6 in sync, too, with AP. So maybe it has something to do with my waccom. Just upgraded from Intuos 4 a couple months ago.

To limit the culprit down you could unplug the wacom + switch the brush with mouse or trackpad.
