Guest Shirley_Crabtree Posted February 27, 2004 Report Share Posted February 27, 2004 Every so often my PC makes a wierd noise.It's been happening for about a week now.The noise is nigh-on impossible to describe but if I really had to describe it I'd say it sounded like a giant gong,being hit...under water..Or maybe the mating call of a male Moose:SThe first few times it happened,I had my browser open and I thought it might have been a daft ad with sound being run on Yahoo (My homepage)...but NO....It's happened when the browser isn't on.So I thought it might be something in my taskbar.In my taskbar I have Steam(A half life game launcher and I've asked other users and they assure me it's not that)I know it isn't Avast4 AV and I'm pretty sure it it isn't "The Cleaner" because I've deactivated "sounds" in the menu.I've run Spybot,Adaware,Hijackthis etc and I think I'm clean :SIs anyone else getting a random sound of a gong underwater or is it just me :censored: The sound is always the same pitch and duration(around half a second at a guess)HELP!!! please :unsure: Shirl.

Guest Shirley_Crabtree Posted February 28, 2004 Report Share Posted February 28, 2004 :huh: so what are you doing when the gong goes off??? Are you sure you haven't got an underwater moose stalking you??That is entirely probable but ultimately doubtful :blink: Shirl. :wub: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Shirley_Crabtree Posted February 28, 2004 Report Share Posted February 28, 2004 Update...The sound is like an alien trying to say the word "Bling" Hope this helps..."Bling"Shirl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanHo Posted February 28, 2004 Report Share Posted February 28, 2004 I had a similar problem a few months ago. It started as a low pitched burst of sound for a fraction of a second and developed over a few weeks to longer duration sounds.I eventually traced it to a case fan on the blink.

nellie2 Posted February 28, 2004 Report Share Posted February 28, 2004 Update...The sound is like an alien trying to say the word "Bling"Having never met an alien who talks 'bling', I'm afraid I can't really relate to that analogy :blink: I sometimes get a blonk sound if I try to close a window that doesn't want to close!!

moon Posted February 29, 2004 Report Share Posted February 29, 2004 I once solved a similar problem by oiling the hinges on port 239. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agent Smith Posted March 1, 2004 Report Share Posted March 1, 2004 Hi Shirley,I don't know about the bling or the blong (wet gong), but I sure as hell am interested in the mating call of this mouse you've got :P . Does it sound female???.........Oh heck, I've just reread and you said MOOSE :( . In that case, my money would definately be on a fan heading to the great cooler in the sky :( . Most likly to be the processor fan, but don't forget to check the case and graphics card fans if you have them. Also you can't rule out the possibilty of a hard disc becoming noisy.Regards. Mr. M.

Agent Smith Posted March 1, 2004 Report Share Posted March 1, 2004 Don't know if it was my sig Tankus, but it looks like the smiley site has gone off line, causing a whole row of "image not found" boxes.I have quickly copied them out of my IE Temp directory, loaded them up to my webspace and redirected my sig.Is it any better??Mr. M.

Guest Shirley_Crabtree Posted March 1, 2004 Report Share Posted March 1, 2004 The noise wasn't within my PC,it was in my headphones.I've uninstalled "The Cleaner" and haven't heard it since :oShirl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
