Hi all,

I'm curious whether anybody else has noticed that some websites, admitedly relatively few, make a sort of beeping sound when cursoring down through the page? It doesn't happen when using say all.

This website is doing it when I visited it this morning:
https://www.movebubble.com/london/area-guides/2017/09/stratford-london-guide

It's kind of like the beeping to indicate percentage progress, but it is apparently not associated with any media loading, just the act of using the cursor keys to navigate up or down the webpage.

Thanks for any insight :)

Hi Chris and others,

I hadn't noticed that progress bar and yes, if I turn progress bar notification off it stops!

No idea what the purpose of the progress bar is!

Thanks,

Giles


 

As other have pointed, at least for me it's confirmed the cause of this happening is the progress bar setting.
Just to proof it, do as follows:
Open the site with your current setting regarding progress bar.
Up and down arrow on it for a time.
Do NVDA+U to set it to a different status.
Repeat the up/down arrow process.
If it behaves differently than previously, then it's confirmed.

Cheers,
Marcio

That probably explains it.  I have progress bar updates set to off.  If I very rarely want them on, I turn them on.

Probably because of the progress bar on the page just above the first heading

 

 

Don’t ask me what it is for or how to get rid of it

 

But I suppose you could turn off beeps in nvda if its that annoying

With which browser?  there are no beeps using Chrome, at least the older version I'm using.
