Weird clicking sound coming from follower : Fallout 4

» Sat Nov 28, 2015 5:20 am

My current follower, Cait, has a weird clicking sound constantly playing from her model. I have confirmed it is not the sound of an empty gun being shot continuously.

I've tried a few things like removing all gear and guns off of her, fast traveling, entering/exiting a building, and dismissing her as a follower, none of them helped at all. I also tried to use the console to disable/enable her, recycleactor, and none of them fixed it. Although enabling/disabling her fixed it once, it doesn't work anymore.

Sometimes it randomly goes away, but as soon as I fast travel or enter/exit a building it comes back.

Loading an old save still keeps the sound going, even though it never happened when I made the old save.

I have also noticed that if I relaunch the game and load an old save the sound is gone, until I load one of the new saves again.

I have found a solution that is working so far for me, so I'll put the steps below for anyone else who also has the problem:

1. Dismiss the follower and send them to Red Rocket Truck Stop (I don't know if you need to send them to here specifically, but it worked for me)

2. Fast travel somewhere away from your follower, eg Diamond city.

3. Save the game, and then restart the game.

4. Play the game without a follower and do a few side quests for maybe an hour.

5. Pick your follower back up from the Red Rocket Truck Stop, and they should have stopped clicking.

Is it perhaps the sound of Dogmeat's claws clicking on the ground? I've noticed he clicks rather loudly when he walks.

The reason I ask is that I think I've noticed some "wrong companion" sounds. I recently started traveling with Dogmeat again, and I keep hearing someone softly saying "Well..." behind me. It sounds like it could be Preston--not sure if that's part of his idle pvssyr, since I haven't had him as a companion, but it sounds like his voice. It certainly shouldn't be coming from Dogmeat!

No it's not, if you watch the video you can hear the sound is much different to the sound that Dogmeat would make.

Also I have found a solution and put it in a previous post in this thread.
