wierdest computer problem

[stuh505]

sometimes my laptop starts making wierd sounds.  out of the speakers (originally i thought it was my hard drive which had my really scared).  it keeps makin this wierd repetetive sound like it has a bee stuck in it.  so far, it happens when im downloading a lot of stuff, or when im playing Legend of Kyrandia.

i managed to capture the sound

are you kidding me? its a stupid annoying pop up ad. it may be in a banner of a website you have running, it may be AOL instant messenger. your computer isnt having problems.

silly bloke.

if you have AIM check to see if someone you know signs on when the sound happens

Deja vu.

Annoying as hell, isn't it? 

This thread is where I had the same exact noise (delay of around 5 seconds between, right?): http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/yabb/index.php?topic=19478.0

My resolution might've been the right one, or it may've just self-resolved.  Good luck, and I wouldn't mind hearing how you resolve it.  It's happened to me once more since that thread but a simple restart fixed it.

yeah, it's annoying.  yeah, about a 5 second interval.

it doesnt do it most of the time, fortunately.

I do get annoying interference sometimes from other things, too...like the state of the mouse buttons being pressed etc will control the noise coming from the speakers

Hah, I was talking to my sister through voice chat the other day, and I though it was feedback.

... I hate annoying ads.
