Description Nagy Tibor 2020-12-12 09:40:48 UTC 
SUMMARY
The feedback beeps on the volume tray icon currently occurs at an unbounded frequency. The can cause static noise when touchpads or mice with free-spinning wheels spam scroll events hundreds of times a second at the tray icon.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Get a mouse with a free-spinning wheel (I have a Logitech M705), or laptop touchpad (I have whatever ASUS puts in their laptops)
2. Scroll fast upwards on the volume tray icon
3. Enjoy the static

OBSERVED RESULT
Feedback beeps at an unbounded frequency causing static noise.

EXPECTED RESULT
Feedback beeps with a limited frequency, around maximum 10 times a second.

Can also confirm.

+1 for this, I've always found this to be annoying. My keyboard has a kind of a dial to adjust volume, it triggers many successive playbacks of this volume test tone. It surely could be better polished.
