Most certainly the "can't do" sound that gets played when a unit gets stuck for example. You can't really do anything about - BA devs didn't decide to fix that yet although you're not the first who dislikes this (at least I don't remember seeing this on the changelog)... :wink:

"Get stuck" refers to not being able to do something they were told to do.

go into fps mode and you can usually get units unstuck..

also when you set a waypoint for your factory and get heaps of units crowded there, it will do the bumbum sound because they cant reach the location you set..

It also happens a lot if you set many units to guard a single unit.

It happens 1 of 3 ways.

1. You have a unit stuck somewhere, either in another unit or the unit is too stupid to move around terrain and gets stuck.

2. You have a Combat unit guarding a Construction unit, when the CON unit starts an action that is not in the Combat unit's list of commands, he freaks out with that sound.

3. You have a single move rally point for your factory, and there are too many units trying to move there but are blocked by other units.

IMO this is a bug.

I found this annoying too. Instead of destroying your units, try to do this. Push ctrl-a, then hit stop. I think the 's' key.
