Is the noise still there you may have something running in the back ground. Shut down and reboot. If noise is still there call tech support.

I think everyone is right about the fan.\nI have a fan that is making noises.\nIt doesn't do it all the time.\nI leave my pc on all the time (another debate)\nbut sometimes it growls at me and sometimes it is quiet.\nIt think eventually I will have to replace it because I don't know if you can oil it.\n\nThe first link I give you below shows how to replace your computer fan yourself very cheap.\nThen I add some links to help see what to buy later.\nGood Luck\nSteffy

If it's making a loud repetitive noise, it could be a toad or frog. What is it that you feed it?\n\n-------------\nUpdate: Do you _have_ a garbage disposal system? Because  the other answers are good... I'm intrigued.

I read it all and I just suggest getting a new sound card, and using it until it quits working if the computer does what you want it to.

what if your computer is a female... and you know how finicky females are!\n2 things....\n1 is your computer sitting on the desk or on the carpet? if its on the carpet, put it on the desk. that can kill a computer with static electricity and it will freeze every time it gets a jolt.\n2 I am thinking maybe a driver conflict (if its not on the floor) run a reg cleaner....something like PC Bug Dr. also check configsys to see what all starts when you turn on the computer, do they use a different media player than you or a different browser?\n\nwith more info I could fix your computer in a minute or two\n\n-Doc-

I'm suspecting that either your computer is hacked or some virus is doing it. I remember an old virus was doing this several years ago.

reboot the computer and try again. The sound driver is being overrun by a program that requires your full and immediate attention, but your not aware of it, so you can't close it or address it to stop it from hogging the sound, so close everything and start from scratch.\n\nUnknown error means exactly that: unknown. probably a fault in the computer's ability to communicate with other computers. try again after reboot.

This happens to me. It is a radio frequency issue. Ususally if you have some kind of wireless device near your computer, the radio frequency interferes. For me, it is my cell phone near my speakers. I always know when my cell phone is going to ring, because my computer speakers make that same strange buzzing noise before hand. I think this problem is primarily systematic with cheap $20 COMPUSA speakers.

Some noises are normal and some are indicators that certain hardware like the hard drive may have a scratch on it or may be on it's way out. I would suggest backing up your data that you want to keep (Windows has a Backup Wizard found in accessories) and either wait for it to go out or have it looked at by an A+ Technician. Do not take no for an answer when you ask for an A+ Technician also ask for thier CompTia A+ Card.\nJohn\nA+ Certified Professional

may sound crazy but it may be the monitor is too close to the computer or some other power source. try moving it away a foot of so. The reason i say this is the wavy, choppy view you are getting sounds like interference from speakers or some other power source. Its worth a try and wont cost you a thing and wont hurt any thing.

it is either a bad ground... assuming you have no surge protector, just have the computer plugged directly into the outlet, or it is gremlins in the tower humming along.

you need to reinstall your sound system.\n\nusally it soundmax or something. Its on your Dell Accessories disc (if you have a dell).\n\nthe bleep is is the only sound a computer knows how to make.

You know where the clock is in the bottom left hand corner?  There should be an icon for a speaker.  Double click that and make sure that nothing is muted.  \n\nOtherwise make sure your speakers have power and are turned on (but I"m pretty sure you've already handled this part).  \n\n\nIf that didn't work go to the control panel.  Click performance and maintenance.  Then click "see basic information about your computer" \n\nIt should open up a window called system properties.  Click the tab that says Hardware.  Then click device manager and scroll down to where you see the sound icon.  If you see a red 'X' over any of the things under the sound things that means it's having problems.  You can double click that and then it should tell you what's wrong, or how you can fix it.  \n\nI hope this helps you!

have you checked that the sound isn't on mute on the conputer? it could just be that you need different speakers

Sounds like an ISP or local computer problem. None of the rest of us seem to be having any trouble or the screams would be all over the net. This is even still in Beta and it works great.
