The guy in the cubicle next to me has this cheap compact HP computer (probably a P4 2.8ghz). When he resizes or creates a square (text or image boxes) in a pagination software his computer tower emits this high pitch squeel, like squeaky wheels rolling, which happens as long as he resizes these boxes. He's using headphones to hide the sound himself, which turns off the internal speakers.
I've heard these computers around the office make odd sounds now and then as I do little tasks such as dragging a window in XP, or minimizing windows, but man this one is loud. My older boss can't hear it though, but it's obvious to even someone in their late 30s.
What causes these sounds in PCs? His machine was never doing this before. At fist I thought he was fast forwarding some audio off a tape.
