When the Speaker Connects to an External Device

Almost all Bluetooth speakers produce a beeping sound when connecting to a device. The same happens when you disconnect the device, although the beeping sound would be different. 

However, depending on the Bluetooth speaker brand, it may beep or produce a voice command confirming a successful connection between the speaker and the audio device. 

For Diagnostic Test

Most Bluetooth speakers have self-diagnostic test procedures. Therefore, they may beep to alert the Bluetooth status. 

The speaker may produce an up-beep sound when you connect it to an audio device. It may also produce a down-beep sound when you disconnect it from the audio device. These alerts show that the speaker is OK and working as expected. 

Depending on the speaker’s brand, the up-beep and the down-beep sounds may signify other things. Be sure to check the user manual for a better understanding. 

Interference from Other Bluetooth Devices

Your Bluetooth device may beep if other Bluetooth devices interfere with it. The speaker detects other active Bluetooth devices nearby, which may cause interference with the signals. As a result, you may hear a beeping sound. To solve this issue, you may consider turning off Bluetooth on devices nearby. Also, ensure the Bluetooth speaker is within thirty feet of the audio source. It should also be clear of obstacles as they may interfere with the connection.Note, the average Bluetooth  device can reach 10 metres or 30 feet.

Distance Between the Speaker and Audio Device

Your Bluetooth speaker may beep if it is too far from the connected audio device. Increasing the distance of separation between the two devices causes a weakening of the signals, resulting in a beep. Solve this issue by moving the audio device closer to your Bluetooth speaker.

Software Problems

Loosely Fitting Power Cable

When you plug in your Bluetooth speaker and hear a beeping sound, the cable is loosely fitted, if not faulty. Check the connection at the port to ascertain that you’ve correctly plugged in the cable; if not, plug it in to fit. However, if the problem persists after fitting the USB cable, the cable might be faulty.

When Using A Faulty Micro-USB Cable

Every Bluetooth speaker has a corresponding USB cable with the correct rating. When you plug in a USB cable with an incorrect rating, the speaker will produce a beeping sound, communicating an error. Wear and tear can also cause a compatible USB cable to get damaged, causing it to prompt an error every time you try connecting it to the speaker.

Whenever you plug in a USB cable to your Bluetooth speaker and produce a beeping sound, try to replace it with a different one. It is advisable to use USB cables from specific brands for compatibility. If a faulty or worn-out USB cable is the cause of your beeping Bluetooth speaker, you may consider replacing it with a new one. 

However, when replacing the USB cable, be sure to get it from the manufacturer's OEM authorized dealer. Besides, you need the replacement cable to have the same power rating as the original one and that its charging port corresponds to the speaker design.

Because Of Dust or Debris on Your Charging Cable or Power Port

Accumulated dust on the Bluetooth speaker power button may clog the port causing interference of currency flow.
