Clicking noise from Compaq notebook?

[(RIP) Bin Ridin]

Hi,

Any idea what is causing a clicking noise from my Compaq notebook when I click on a new web-page? It sounds like a little relay?

Does it still happen if you turn off the speakers ?
If so, it's merely the Windoze sound effects. If not, have you checked it for crickets ?

Fooking hell, it stops when I turn off the speakers, although it is a mechanical sounding noise.
Tks, Centaur!

Is it a continuous clicking or just now and again? if continuous get a new HDD ready for back up, i only just managed to get my files off mine before the drive went t**s up.

Nah it's a Windoze sound effect - mine did it in default mode.

Turn it off in control panel - sounds and audio devices - sounds tab - sounds - select no sound
