strange noises through speakers

[Guest MichaelY]

I occasionally get some strange noises through my speakers. They are

not any that I could find under the "Sounds" tab on the "Sounds and

Audio Devices Properties" menu. Is there a way to trace which program

is issuing the sounds?

It may not be a program, it could be your cell phone, cordless phone or

anything else that "transmits" RF energy, particularly if they're cheaper

unshielded speakers.

Re: strange noises through speakers

 

Doug,

Thanks for the quick reply. It's good to know that you are still

active for XP what with MS trying to jam Vista down our throats.

 

The noises are not random. They sound like any other system

notification sound and the same sounds randomly repeat from one time

to the next. I am befuddled.

 

My question remains: How can I trace the originating source of these

sounds?

 

Sincerely,

MichaelY

First thing I would try; change the "Default Beep" event to "None". Are

you still getting the sound?
