Blip Voice

An Android app that suppresses the short "blip" sound WhatsApp plays between consecutive voice messages, and optionally lowers media volume while voice messages play through the speaker.

When you hold the phone to your ear during a voice message, Blip Voice engages Do Not Disturb (Total Silence) so the inter-message blip is muted. The moment you pull the phone away, your previous DND state is restored.

The Story Behind Blip Voice

I built this project to solve a painful bug in WhatsApp that many people on the internet have complained about.

When you are listening to consecutive voice messages with the phone held to your ear (using the earpiece capsule), WhatsApp automatically plays the next message. However, between these consecutive messages, WhatsApp emits a transition "blip" sound. Unfortunately, this blip plays at a painfully loud volume directly into your ear!

While you could try lowering the media volume while listening, doing so also lowers the volume of the voice message itself, often to the point where you can't even hear the person talking anymore.

After having my eardrums blasted one too many times, I created Blip Voice to permanently mute that loud transition blip and make listening to voice messages a comfortable experience again.

Features

Suppresses the transition blip between WhatsApp voice messages (uses the proximity sensor).

Optional media-volume scaling: while WhatsApp is in the foreground, voice messages on the speaker play at a percentage of your current media volume, then restore when playback ends.

Master on/off toggle and per-feature toggle.

Requirements

Android 7.0 (API 24) or higher.

A proximity sensor (for the blip suppressor).

Two runtime permissions, granted from inside the app:

Do Not Disturb Access — to switch DND to Total Silence while the phone is at your ear.

Accessibility Service — to detect when WhatsApp is in the foreground.

Build

/blip-voice.git<br>cd blip-voice<br>./gradlew assembleDebug">git clone https://github.com/your-username>/blip-voice.git<br>cd blip-voice<br>./gradlew assembleDebug

The APK lands in app/build/outputs/apk/debug/.
