Covers why you might hear a strange sound during charging this Flip. You could have JBL Speaker Water in Charging Port. This sound could occur due to a wet or defective charging port. So be sure the port is dry and free of debris before following this procedure to charge the Flip. You may have to allow the speaker to sit and dry out for a few days before attempting to charge it again, if the sound persists.

Recharge the speaker through the side-panel USB-C charging port. To summarize: First, pick the right size USB power adapter. Note that this speaker does not ship with one.

Next, connect a thicker USB-C cable between the speaker and the power supply you’re using. Next, plug the adapter into a working mains outlet.

Then, you’ll have music again for up to twelve hours (about), before you must charge it anew.
