Love this app but there’s one problem

See, when I mute the noise channel before playing a song, it makes this ear piercing noise that won’t stop until I stop the song or the song ends. Otherwise, this app is a little complicated but it’s easy to use once you get the hang of it. and, it has no annoying ads!
