Occasionally, at the beginning of games after I've split the workers and start spamming, I can hear a sound clip. It begins with the buzzing sound of a flying fly, then a slap and finally a guy saying something like "got it". It's not always the whole clip is played up, but sometimes I can only hear the fly and sometimes it stops after the slap.

I'm on a mac (Macbook Pro) with the latest patch installed. But I've been hearing this for a while now.

Have anyone else noticed this? Am I infected by a malware? Neither the search tool, the Battle.net forum nor Google could help me with this.


(Help me before I go crazy for hearing voices!)

This must be the weirdest thing i've ever heard...
I recommend you to do a scan with MalwareBytes, if the problem is malware-related.

But, seeing as the sound only plays in the start of games, i have absolutely no idea what the issue might be, it is very unlikely that it is malware.

...i'm intrigued too. There were a few times when I thought I heard sounds, voices (of people talking, etc) that doesn't seem to be part of the SC2 game. However, they were different that yours. I thought it could be malware but don't know what it is. I don't think it is the voice chat feature because I have never enabled it or used it. I was concerned too.

Could malware be spread through Bnet?

Maybe it could be something like that bug where textures were swapped/wrong, but with sound clips?

Maybe try turn off game sound and music and see if it still does it.

Yes, I do.

Is that sound part of the SCV sound pool? That would explain it. * embarrassed*

i have a similar problem in bw. whenever i build my first gateway (or sometimes cybernetics) the human nuclear launch detected sound file starts to endlessly loop until i pause the game. Then it never happens again. just an anecdote
