How can I stop beep noises in Final Cut Pro version 11.1.1 on MacBook Pro?

When I cut my vide file with built-in audio after rendering I hear BEEP 1 sec. All my plug-ins are licensed and I have no any trial versions. Every beginning of cut has some BEEP noise for a second. Nometer how many times I render it randomly sounds noisy BEEP at the begging of some cuts.

I have no any mp3 or another file. Just mp4 file of my record of screen and my voice in it. What to change and what to fix to solve this problem?

I ** using macOS 15.5 (Sequoia) and FCPX version 11.1.1

How to solve it? Who had the same problem?

I live real part of file in timeline 5sec you will understand. Listen:

That actually sounds like a snippet of a macOS alert sound. I think you may have captured it while recording your screen. I'd test this. Trim the clip the "beep" is on, see if you can trim it out so it isn't heard. Then trim back the other way more than you need to, and see if you hear a full macOS alert sound.

No, no. My file does not have any notification sounds at all. There is no sound editing at all. When rendering, the final product comes with the BEEP sound. I don't know why it appears and what is the reason. I want to remove it. It appears just after rendering.

That BEEP sound in several places of my production file but in editing mode there was no any beep. I would trim them off if I heard. I can't understand what is the reason of such kind of beep effect and sometimes it is too short to notify but in some places as if real BEEP sound.

Who knows the solution? Who had the same problem? My plugins are normal not trial...

I've never heard a beep like that just suddenly appear during export of a video file. I'd like to see a screenshot of the Timeline where a beep is, with the audio waveform. Nothing I've ever encountered introduces a beep like that. We'll see if someone else has ever encountered this before.

As a test, I'd duplicate the project, double-click to open it in the timeline, then select all clips in this duplicate timeline and choose Edit > Remove Effects. Export it, or a portion of it that would exhibit the beep, and see if the beep is there in the export. If no beeps, add back an effect at a time.

I've been recorded my screen and talking at the same time. Just one file within voice and screen. I tried to fade both of side, one side and even more but result the same. Still beeps at the beginning. Imagine that I cut for example 12 times and in 6 of cut there is BEEP and it is possible to hear. Beeps are noticeable.

I turned my plugins at all and still the same. What might be a reason...?

No effects at all. I've been applying fade eve in both sides, one side, at the begging and at the end... It does not help.

I could not understand what cause of this issues. What might be a reason for such kind of problem.

What are the exact specs of your screen recording? Open the mp4 file in QuickTime Player and Get Info. Post a pic of the Get Info window with all the details showing. It will look something like this:

Also, what are the FCP project settings?

Have you tried resetting FCP preferences/settings? Hold option+command while launching FCP and choose Delete Preferences... FCP will open the default Untitled library. Reopen the library you were working on and see if there's any change in behavior.

Post the output of an https://etrecheck.com report after giving it Full Disk Access in System Settings.

I've never heard of anyone having a problem like you're describing.

Do you believe but I have tested Edit > Remove Effects and no BEEP.

Now I am going to give one by one Effects that I applied to investigate which one is a cause of BEEP sound.

I will report my investigation)

YES, but now I am interested which effect or settings as audio or video might be a root of problem. I will tell more. Just now I am applying one by one all effects that I applied before. I will report soon...

I FOUND IT! PROBLEM SOLVED!

I figured out the issue — it was caused by the built-in audio enhancement effect.

I don’t know why, but when I enable Voice Isolation together with Equalization, it adds a beep sound at the beginning of almost every cut.

I simply unchecked those effects, and the problem disappeared.

Following your advice, I first removed all effects. Then, by adding them back one by one, I discovered that Voice Isolation was triggering the beep noise.

Now, I’ve rendered the video without it — no beeps, and all plugins work perfectly.
