    Yeah that's been happening to me for a while now too. I'm surprised that this is the first post I've seen about it actually.

    That same bug happens with Lethal Arrow (Snipe morph) as well and since I play in 1st person the green, poison-spray arrow looping makes it hard to see anything...and it's really loud lol

    Hey there folks,

    Kind of an odd question, but do you happen to be using Silver Bolts in your rotation with Snipe?

    I have this problem constantly with lethal arrow as well, like a constant swishing sound after shooting, especially when used in combination with venom arrow and light attacks in rotation. It lasts for ages. The only way I've found to get rid of it is by weapon swapping twice. There is also a stream of poison "ribbon" graphical effects that gets stuck on at the same time.

    I haven't tried snipe/lethal arrow with silver bolts. I have another character with the other morph of snipe, and it doesn't seem to have a sound issue.

    The looping sound is started if you have a crit success on an attack while you have dawnbreaker or perfect dawnbreaker on your bar.

    I've noticed it when it crits too, happens to me with venom arrow. I get the looping swishy poison noise, and the mustard yellow poison trail lingering for a little while.

    I don't use Silver Bolts at all, no. I usually am just using Lethal Arrow after setting up with Reaper's Mark, Rearming Trap, and Refreshing Path. This is happening in both PvE and PvP situations for me, and happens pretty much any time I use Lethal Arrow now.

    this issues will happen if you fire a snipe, and another attack right after, and the target dies before the snipe actually hits..

    it will also happen if you somehow cancel the snipe, and a few other situations.

    simply put, it happens anytime the full flight animation of the attack fails and arrow is placed back in your hands, with the animation and effects still playing.

    there you go Zenimax... thats the exacts and how it happens... figure your fix with that..

    I've had this happening constantly since the sound overhaul, makes it impossible to tell when a 2nd snipe is incoming.

    I don't use Silver bolts and I have this problem too. It's pretty annoying.
    EDIT: but I use dawnbreaker though.

    Same here. Have put out several bug reports on it to no avail. Happens in both PvE and PvP play.

    Do any of you also get a light animation along with the sound? I get a fine yellow light trace near my bow along with the sound.

    snipe + venom arrow + light attack here. Getting the sound and the yellow line animation a lot, even more when grouped, maybe because there's others damaging the target? No silverbolts here

    It happens to my wife and myself; she uses Silver Bolts, while I do not.

    Weapon swapping usually clears the lingering bow audio/poison hissing, green-cloud thing.

    I've submitted several bugs (/bug) on this.

    Not to distract from the main problem with the arrow sound looping, but has anybody noticed a similar problem with "Assassins Blade/Impale"?
    Although I'm not using the attack any more because I found a different move more useful, I had a problem that came up every once in a while where the animation and sound effect of "Assassins Blade/Impale" would get stuck and make an annoying repeated whooshing sound and the animated effect of the red blade would be stuck in my extended hand and it wouldn't go away unless I opened a menu or swapped weapons.

    No I never use silver bolts. The sound loop for snipe is usually accompanied by a hissing poison cloud on me too.
    At least the spelling is difficult for you.

    No silver bolts here and I get the sound effect loop. It's not every single time, but it is quite frequent and does seem to happen most frequently when I Focused Aim--->Venom Arrow--->light attack, but sometimes also with Focused Aim by itself on a one shot. Also, I've noticed in the past couple days i seem to be 'losing' bow sounds infrequently in instances of semi-heavy to heavy aoe.

    Got this with just lethal arrow and light attacks last night.

    No bolts, no venom arrow. Just Lethal and Light attacks, seemed to happen when the Lethal crits.

    it does do it when this happens but it also seems to happen randomly with most arrow attacks. i have many friends that have this issue too, as well as they can see and hear the looped effect when mine does it.

    i have not but i have not used it much, it has recently become part of my style so i will keep an eye out for this.

    im really surprised as well, i looked for awhile for another post about it but found nothing so i was worried it was just me and my friends having this constant problem for some reason.

    No I do not even have it on either of my bars. The looping sound for me is accompanied by green mist along with a yellowish lighting bolt type effect.. What is odd is I do not always get the looping sound or the mist. Happens about 50% of the time. Since my crit is at 48.2% i am thinking crits might be the causal factor?
