Better said: something passing through the network. Someone suggested that I use the Wireshark program which records packets flowing through the network. But I had no luck isolating the sound. A dead end - but I was trying that option. I don't know if the sound is coming "from a PC" but it is...

What I meant by the sound happening when I wasn't there... I wasn't sitting at the computer. Yes, I checked the Volume Mixer when the sound occurred - and nothing new popped up. Am I looking in the wrong place? Would it be "mystical" if the intruding sound was caused by something in the network...

I wish that were true. Believe me, though, it's not fun. EDIT: And I'm not replicating the sound, it happens spontaneously. I've just come here for help. Sorry if you think I'm trolling you.

What good would that do if the same exact event happens on 3 different machines? I've even tried only using no USB and only a bluetooth kb/mouse.

After 18 hours of no noise running clean boot, sound happened 5-6 times in 10 minutes. Any other ideas?

I thought that could be a possibility - and changed to the Opera browser. Didn't make a difference. About an hour ago, I tried the clean boot. No sounds so far.... but it is random. Hardly anything over the weekend. Then about noon yesterday, I had at least 20 instances in 5 hours. One thing...

I still haven't found a solution. Since last writing, I've tried Wireshark - but since the sound is so random it has been impossible to track. So where it stands now: Same specific sound. 3 different computers. No software overlap. *Probably* is coming through the network - even though I'vew...

Someone else said it sounds like one of those machines in a hospital that measures vital signs such as a heart rate or brain pulses.

Does anyone recognize that sound? It reminds me of the old device disconnect sound... but not quite.

Yes, I'm using different power speakers. At one point, I noticed some faint digital noise - but that disappeared when I moved the router. As far as neighbors trying to connect, someone on another forum sent packets to my router to try to replicate the sound. Nothing. Because of the randomness...

I've basically ruled out the socket as I've replaced the outlets - and also the same sound occurred when I ran the computer on an extension cord to another room. And I've been through the whole power setting thing ad nauseum - it doesn't seem to be a Windows issue.... no events, no disconnects...

How can it be - if I'm getting the same sound using *3* different computers? I'm thinking it has to be some sort of electrical or network interference (some device trying to connect?) - but how can that be if it's occurred with 2 different routers and 2 different ISPs? Weird.

For several months, I've tried without success to find a solution to this issue on several forums . Perhaps someone here can help me. Here's my frustrating story: I was using a self-built machine. Suddenly random USB device-like (but not exactly) disconnect sounds started occurring (sometimes...
