Intermittent High-pitch beep or nattering nc8430

There are intermittent beep of high-pitch or nattering of the laptop, generally when cold before it has warmed up. Once warmed up I rarely hear it.

A few times when warmed up the noise started, then disappeared after 1-2 minutes. It sounds like a relay or mechanical contact may be passing. Noise is NOT from usual PC - Beep, but another component speaker. Beep is different from power on beep because it of higher and lower volume - identical to the beep from Caps Lock-on but not affected by the volume control or inhibition.

Noise occurs in Windows XP SP3 and Windows 7 SP1 with sound ON or sound JUDGMENT.

Replacing CMOS battery with brand new battery and removing the Player DVD have no effect.

I don't know what to try next - all the tips are much appreciated.

Thank you!

It seems as if it was the HARD drive, a Western Digital 120 GB 7200 RPM, replaced 5 years ago.

I solved the problem by installing and running quiethdd  https://sites.google.com/site/quiethdd/. It works on Win 7 and XP.  I just installed the quiethdd with the default settings and have not heard the noise since.

I put a link in the startup folder, but sometimes Win7 don't know. Whatever it is, the noise disappeared since I installed it.  INTELLIGENT diagnosis shows all green - no warning - for me. CHKDSK is all clean.

  • Re: NB305-10F - high-pitched noise of the slot of the headset

    Hey all,.

    I recently bought a Toshiba NB305-10F and at first everything seemed fine, but I found now that when I put headphones or external speakers in the headphone slot it emits a high-pitched noise. It is intermittent but is it about 95% of the time. Unfortunately this makes it nearly impossible to listen to any music or audio books through my speakers or headphones! It doesn't seem to be any sound when I use the built-in speakers.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated. I had to send my first model for other reasons and not want to do the same thing again!

    Kind regards

    Rob

    Hello

    You use the version preinstalled Windows from Toshiba?

    I think that what you can do is update the audio driver and if it doesn't work you should get in touch with an authorized service provider. It seems that something is wrong with the slot of the headset, and it needs to be repaired

    A friend also told NB300 but he never noticed such a problem.

  • My Satellite C850 produced high high pitched noise

    Hello

    I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite new C850 of Argos and it s great, apart from the fact it seems to put a sharp nose for the right length at a time.
    It s no feedback noise microphone / speaker. The sound is causing my ears hurt even now when I ve turned off laptop.
    My ears keep humming for days after using the laptop.

    Someone at - it solutions or similar probs... Bravo!

    In the past I've used several laptops including Toshiba laptops but I ve never noticed anything like that so, for me, it is not easy to understand exactly what is happening.
    Can you tell us what could be source of this high-pitched noise? Where did it come from?

    Problem is that some options to solve this problem are very limited due to the fact that, probably, some components of material produced this noise.
    I assume that your laptop is always guaranteed valid then perhaps you should contact the nearest Toshiba, service provider and ask for help. They can inspect it and fix it.

  • OS sound produce a high-pitched noise (M70-160) + keyboard cursor jumps

    Hello everyone,

    I own a satellite M70-160 for about a year. There are two problems:
    (a) 15 days ago all the sounds of the o/s (for example when windows start/end, wheel etc) no longer works properly and began to produce a high-pitched noise. It's extremely annoying. I downloaded the realtek soundmax which only temporarily solves the problem. Now every time I have reinstall, when sound is shut down it works fine, but then again when I restart the computer it is working properly.
    In addition this problem disappears and appears periodically and it seems that most of the o/s sound time is malfunctioning.

    (b) when I type fast in keyboard cursor jumps into other lines or bar tasks or made the selection of text etc. as there is a kind of shortcut (this problem is not related to the first as it appeared from the beginning).

    I shouldn't forget to mention that I installed almost every new driver (might have missed one or two but it is highly unlikely)

    Thank you very much

    Giorgos

    Hello

    (a) I have the same unit, but so far I didn't notice something like that. If this happens regularly, it makes the not so easy diagnosis. Try to test with different volume levels and also with headphones.
    (b) key combination while typing to disable using FN + F9 touchpad. Maybe you touch touchpad with your hand while typing so fast.

    The last option you can try is updated BIOS. If you want to do this please READ the document how to do this.

  • Portege R700 - high pitched noise

    I have a high pitched noise of my Portege R700 - 11 p. The noise is in the upper range of the sound signal (perhaps around 15'000 Hz) and is regularly increasing and decreasing at a rate of about 0.5 Hz. He is always there that if the laptop is plugged into the power source and sleep, this is sometimes if the laptop is connected and running and he faints immediately if I plug off the coast. The noise seems to come from the upper left corner of the laptop. It is not very strong, but clearly audible and quite annoying after awhile. Someone knows why this noise and any opportunity to get rid of it?
    Thanks, Martin

  • Why my Ff making a loud high pitched sound when loading a new page?

    This does not happen on every page, but VERY often, when a new page will load (ie: gmail, Facbook login...) as soon as this is done loading I hear a strong high pitched sound. All too often.
    It seems almost connected with the other problem Im having. When I arrive at a login screen, the connection box is filled with the sound, but the other annoying is to get rid of the info pre-populated (says enter username or phone...) I have to double-click and delete it. I know it is small, but with two issues all the time it really drives a guy nut and slows down the work.

    Any luck you have the NoScript extension installed?

    It has a sound of audio feedback when scripts are blocked while the page loads. This noise can be disabled in the NoScript options on the Notifications tab.

  • Satellite U405d-s2850 - noise coming from the fan high pitch

    I bought my computer laptop 2nd Friday last for the school. I bought it at Costco after comparing with some other laptops.
    I like it so far, it is a tone high from the fan noise. First I thought it was my ear, but it wasn't. This high pitch noise is so darn high, it makes me crazy.

    This means, there is something wrong with this laptop?
    Or am I just darn sensitive?
    My other laptop Toshiba is very good. It's just this new laptop!
    Help!

    Should I return this laptop and get a new one or is it normal?

    Hello

    Are you sure that this noise is coming from the cooling module?
    Usually, it is really hard to say what causes these sounds of high pitch without disassembling the whole laptop and check the single parts.

    > This means, there is something wrong with this laptop?
    To be honest, I never noticed the sounds of high pitch on my three different notebooks.
    So I guess there might be something wrong with the single computer laptop part.

    So if you aren't really sure what causes this noise of high tone, then I recommend contacting ASP in your country for and verification of the laptop.

  • Satellite C660 - 23 M won't turn on and makes a high pitched noise high

    Hi I'm new here

    Ive had my laptop for about 2 years and she had a lot of problems - broken screens, dust in the fan, etc.

    yesterday I used it as usual when it off completely without warning.
    I'm used to is happening because my laptop overheats and turns off like that on a regular basis.

    However, when I turned it back on, it makes a high pitched noise that kept getting more high until the laptop turns off again.
    I think the noise of the fan.

    There was also a slight smell of burning plastic.
    My laptop does not turn on and when I plug it in the orange power light does.

    PLEASE HELP I HAVE MY ENTIRE ITUNES LIBRARY AND SCHOOL TO WORK THERE

    Also last week the hing on one side of the laptop is broken.
    The screen still worked and all the wires were still intact

    To be honest, all the details do not sound very good...
    Everything looks like some causes of serious hardware problem laptop cannot be turned on.
    I can't say for sure what the problem is here, but probably the motherboard or the CPU is dead.

    In any case, your data on the HARD drive should not be affected, and I guess you could get access to your entire iTunes library. You must remove the laptop HARD drive Bay HARD drive and you will have to use an external USB 2.5 "HDD caddy to connect the HARD drive from the laptop to another computer as an external USB HDD.

    This will allow you to move forward and back up the data to another job good HARD drive.

  • Satellite L500 - high-pitched noise when the USB port is in use

    I have a Satellite L500-1ZP, aged from 1 month. When I connect a usb key or other device in my usb port, the laptop generates a high-pitched noise.
    The sound is not strong, strong but enough to irritate me.
    When I disconnect a device, the sound disappears.
    The sound is also there when I disconnect my laptop to the grid form.

    This is a common problem and can it be resolved?

    To be honest I don't think that this is a common problem. Is that what you found more threads with the same description of problem?
    The same happens when you use the available USB ports?
    You can locate where this noise is coming from? Maybe the speakers?

Seems to get by if I plug in external speakers but one have a similar problem if I plug in a microphone. Thin K that could be linked to the microphone on the chicony webcam works do not.

    I've upgraded to windows 7, shortly after obtaining the laptop and so far have tried to download the new drivers for the web cam, but this does not seem to have helped.

  • Dell XPS 13, making High Pitched Noise (new)

    I recently got an XPS 13 replacement because my first one of the problems with the high pitched noise coming from somewhere inside. Technicians and Customer Service failed to point out the culprit, so they replaced the laptop altogether. And now I'm having exactly the same problem on my replacement machine. I see messages from the different forum that this problem was discovered as early as may / June 2012 and it is still there. I guess it could be 'standard', but one notices people not because of the frequency.

    For such a premium with a tag pricy on that machine (the model I got: i7, 8 GB of RAM, SSD 256 GB (edition 1080 p btw) was estimated at NOK 10495 with standard options) you expect questions to be nonexistent, if not fixed now.

    I LOVE the 13 XPS in all possible aspects. light construction, affect premiums and solid performance. But I'm often in very quiet areas with this machine, and the noise is driving me crazy. (I'm a student)

    What should do?

    Hi Karl Sindre Baath Engelstad,.

    I'm sorry about the frustration. I suggest you Flash the BIOS from the following link:

    http://Dell.to/11yLjEC

    Note: While flashing BIOS connect the power adapter and make sure the battery has a minimum charge of 15% as this uninterrupted power supply needs. Do not use the system until it reboots and arrives on the desk.

    If the problem persists even after flashing the BIOS to the latest version, please send me a private message with the service system number. Click on my name, and then click Start the Conversation to send me a private message.

    Edit: to run some tests change the louder tone according to the size or the amount of text that is displayed, and the noise occurs regardless of the application used...

    I have to return this monitor? This makes it almost impossible to work with her.

    My Dell u2713hm Rev 01 made in April seems not to have any high pitch noise. Also the backlight bleed is much much less then what I saw online. Crosshatch light but its so small. If you sit the suggested 3-4 feet away from the monitor you barely notice.
