August 20, 2025Aug 20 That annoying sound that sounds like someone is scratching a sand paper across a piece of wood is still there every 3/4 minutes. I thought this was being sorted out in SU3..?

August 20, 2025Aug 20 When looking at CPU and GPU usage using the nvidia monitoring software I noted that I get that scratchy clicking sound whenever the CPU usage spikes to 100%.

August 21, 2025Aug 21 Well, it is the first time that I have ever heard of this "scratchy clicking sound", so I guess it was useful to me. Is this something that a large number of MSFS 2024 users hear?

August 21, 2025Aug 21 Oh,now I know what you are talking about. I was wondering about that strange sound every few minutes.
August 21, 2025Aug 21 I find it’s an intermittent problem on my end. Some flights it happens a lot and others not at all. It is paired up with a spike in CPU. I have a fairly beefy rig, 5090, 9800x3d and 96GB Ram. Another thing is for some reason I have to go in and change the traffic on every new launch of the sim, it never saves that setting. Luckily all others are saved. And the new version has a bunch of new settings added with parked aircraft etc. I use BATC as my traffic injector so need to disable it all every flight. Back on topic though, have MSFS or Asobo mentioned anything about this? Is it tied to AMD for example? Many thanks Anthony Milner
August 21, 2025Aug 21 I get this as well, was hoping SU3 fixed it. I think they've acknowledged it on Dev streams before and were working on it... Kael Oswald 9950X3D/ 64GB DDR5 6200 @ CL30 / Custom Water Loop / RTX 5090 / 3 x 48" LG C4 OLEDs
August 21, 2025Aug 21 I don't get this. Occasionally get a stutter (like a pause of about half a second) in the sound when it's working really hard, but nothing like you describe.

It almost feels like the sim is about to crash entirely and then it recovers. Anthony Milner
