Beeps when pressing volume buttons on side

[Android Central Question]

I've had my Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 for over 4 months. Less than an hour ago, with no input by me, no changed settings, etc., it started beeping (single beep) each time I press one of the volume adjustment buttons on the side (except when the volume is muted). It NEVER did this before. I have checked all sound settings and they have no effect. What in the world happened and how do I stop this? Thank you!

Welcome to Android Central! Is this only when using headphones, or also over the main speaker?

I'm wondering if it is just that you've never noticed it before. If you change volume while something is playing there is no sound but if you adjust volume when nothing is playing there's a beep to indicate, perhaps warn, that the volume is being changed. I briefly went through the settings, because I thought I remembered seeing a setting once, but I could only find one for different types of touches. Truthfully I think you've just never noticed and now that you have you're hyper aware of it.

There may be some more drastic steps you could take to try and stop this but they are drastic compared to living with it. Launchers have a lot of extra controls, perhaps there is one that makes this an option. There are sound control apps which mostly control volume but some also allow widgets. Perhaps a widget volume controller wouldn't have a sound for adjustments or perhaps would but one that could be muted.

Try safe mode ?

I solved this on my S10e by using "Buttons remapper" app (note the 's' on buttons as there are many apps that sound similar). I remapped 'volume +' and 'volume -' but here is the thing, you need to map them to 'ring volume down' not just 'volume down'.

Then no beep!

I was worried this might mean hardware button wouldn't work for media any more, however they do but this might be because I also use 'Volume Sync' app, and sync notification and media volume. This is a great app anyway to sync notification sounds and ringtone (why on earth would you want to have to control each separately?).
