Intermittent beeping sound on dv6-3044ea

My HP Pavilion dv6 keeps beeping. It works fine, there is no obvious problems but once every 30 seconds or so it makes a single beep. It can keep doing this for an hour or so then it will stop for a while, then just start again. Any one have any idea what the problem and how to stop it?

I tried looking up which manufacturer made your motherboard but it isn't listed in the public details unfortunately. I may be able to find out if I had your serial number but don't put that information here in the thread. Instead, you could private message me your serial number. 
However, the only chart that lists 1 beep other than when POSTing, is Megatrends, AMI. It indicates there that it is a memory timing error. On this page, expand the  Megatrends, AMI section to see that.
Also what is your battery charge percentage when you hear the beeps? Sometimes there can be a low battery beep. If you wanted, you could post a video on youtube and link me to it. Is there any trend as to when the beep happens? While using certain programs? When it happens, does it start right after power it on and continue indefinitely? or does it start several minutes/hours after start up?

  • Intermittent beeping sound from my PC internal speaker. How to disable it?

    I have a HP Pavilion 1070d PC.  I get an intermittent beeping sound from my PC internal speaker.  It seems to engage when the hard drive starts working when it's been down for a while.  How do I disable the beeping sound?

    Domgoh, welcome to the forum.
    Normally, the beeps that come from a computer are BIOS beep codes.  They are warnings that something is wrong with the computer.  At the bottom of the page in the link that I provided are codes for different motherboards.  Review them to see if this is what you are receiving.

  • Very High Pitched and Super Quiet beep/sound from DV6

    They seem to make a new DV6 every year but This one is mine.
    I've had this notebook since September and its awesome. But there is a very annoying issue I have always had with it. When I'm using it in a very quiet environment I can hear it emit a high pitched beep type sound every second. Its extremely quiet but its one of those sounds your brain suddenly notices and you can't stop hearing it - like when some old CRT monitors and tube TV's are left on. I usually only hear it when the PC is idle or doing very basic tasks like I'm doing now typing this. I thought for sure it was something else in my home for the first month until I was using the notebook someplace else and heard the same annoying sound. When I put my ear up to the notebook I can hear it better and that its somehow tied with the fan. I can hear the fan barely slow down by probably 5%, then that beep and the fan speeds up again. This happens continuously until I'm not idle. Anyone else notice this? My motherboard was replaced a month ago (It randomly died) but nothing changed.

    Seems to be normal "CPU whine". Nothing can really be done about it. I've just been lucky with my notebooks in the past not having a whine. I set my networked storage a little closer to where I sit and it cancels out the CPU whine.

  • T410: Strange Beeping sound

    I've had my T410 for 1 year now. Since day 1, it has had a strange issue with emitting an intermittent beeping sound. Here are some of the details:
    Does not happen during start-up. This is when the computer is running
    Does not make a difference how long the computer has been turned on - sometimes it will beep within minutes of Windows starting
    Beep is not prompted by any user activity - it will beep even if I am away from it
    Beep is not transmitted via the speakers - when speakers are on mute, beep is as loud as always
    Beep happens roughly once every several minutes, and is loud enough to be heard 15-20' away
    Beep is not regularly timed
    Frequency of beeps has gotten worse over the last year
    When computer beeps, any user actions hiccup. For example, if I am clicking a link at the time when the computer beeps, I will see my whole computer freeze for a split second, and the link won't be launched. I have to click again after the beep. Same is true for whatever program I happen to be using at the time
    Interestingly, my colleague's T410 has the exact same problem. We talked about it and were baffled.
    Can anyone help solve this mystery?
    Thanks!

    Some people have reported a noise when the disk heads park themselves. They do this when there is no disk activity for a while (which is rare). The following may help, though it's the Linux view:

  • System stuck on white screen and beeping sounds

    Power button turns screen from black to white and computer starts making intermittent beeping sounds. Tried SMU reset, hard reset, disconnecting cables but the problem stays the same. Any other suggestions.

    I had a similar problem on my 24" iMac purchased Dec 07. It was OK from a cold boot, but would go to the white screen and 3 beeps on any reboot. If I held down the Option key I could select the only disk and it would boot OK. I tried detaching all external disks - no change, ran HW diagnostics, - showed no problems. Ran disk verify/repair from CD, no errors. System info showed no problems with POST or the DIMMs.
    I first re-seated both 1Gb DIMMs - no change.
    Swapped the DIMMs into opposite slots - no change.
    I removed one, fixed the problem.
    I put in the suspect one by itself - problem returned.
    This is original RAM that came with the system, trying to get the suspect DIMM replaced now, but system is OK for the moment on 1GB.

  • Pavilion dv6 - loud beeping sound when starting +sound problem

    i just bought an hp pavilion dv6 notebook LR732PA and every time i turn it on there's a loud beeping sound, and i'm not sure if this is normal but it asks me where to boot from (pc hard drive) and which oS (windows 7 64-bit). does anyone know how to stop the beeping?
    Also sometimes the sound stops working altogether and an icon appears on the screen with a circle moving around it, and when i try to put the volume up the bar slides back down. it usually can be fixed by closing some programs and processes, it happens sometimes when ive just got 2 programs running and i close one and its ok, or if its not i have to restart. is this something to do with RAM or some kind of sound setting?
    Thanks =)

    There could possibly be a RAM issue here are a couple of troubleshooting links that might resolve your issue or give you an idea what the beeping is referring to.

  • Hear Crackling+Beeping Sound Through Speakers (intermittently frequent)

    When my Powerbook is on, I hear this crackling/beeping sound through my sound output (same through headphones as well). It just started acting up a couple days ago and hasn't stopped. It's rather annoying when I am trying to listen to music or even if no sound is coming through at all.
    I don't know if you have recognised this, but if you are in a car or near some type of radio and a mobile phone is being used near it, the radio usually emits a little static-beeping sound because of the interference it is receiving from the telephone waves. That's the sound I am getting from my laptop. This has never happened before.
    Is this a sound card malfunction that can be fixed by resetting it or removing and reinserting? Is there anything I can do? Maybe run some sound tests, I dunno. How?
    Thanks.

    Hi, ljosh. If anyone who had seen your post knew exactly what to do, I doubt that they'd be keeping it a secret from you. I don't know what to do about your problem, but I can tell you that there's no sound card in a Powerbook for you to fiddle with: the audio circuitry is all on the main logic board. There's no room in there for a separate sound card.
    All I can suggest is that you start up from a bootable CD and see whether the crackling continues when none of the software (including the OS) on your hard drive is in use. If it does, your Powerbook needs a hardware repair.

  • My MacBook Pro makes a beep sound every few minutes.  Why?

    My new MacBook Pro makes a beep sound every few minutes.  Why?

    If you have a Seagate 500 GB 7200 RPM drive model ST9500420AS or ST9500420ASG, there is a widely reported problem with MacBooks that causes intermittent clicks and beeps.  If that is your scenario, google for details.

  • Cube makes beep sounds

    Hello.
    I have a problem with a G4 Cube. About 1 year ago it was upgraded with a Sonnet Encore/ST G4 upgrade card and with a bigger hd.
    When booting it makes a beep sound and this sound keeps appearing every 1 or 2 minutes. I already tried switching the Ram, but this didn't help.
    Beside this sound, it fails to boot from HD, CD or DVD. From time to time it seems to be able to pass the boot partition selection, but some time later it get's stuck with a grey screen showing a circle with a crossed out line in it - it looks similar to the Delete-Button in Apple Mail.
    I also tried booting from within OF, but this didn't work. I already reseted NV-RAM and PMU.
    I hope there is a way to get this mac running again. Thank you for you help!

    Hi,
    Interesting to take a Cube apart, isn't it? Quite an engineering marvel, I think.
    I don't mean to be repetitive but a 'charged' battery is not necessarily a 'good' battery. Unless it has been replaced recently, you should, at this point, replace it (Radioshack $14) - thereby removing that as problem.
    The other real possibility is that the Hard Drive is making this sound, which is an indication of imminent failure. If you are able to backup/save important data, do it now. Replacing the HDD is common on older computers, they all fail eventually. Symptoms are noises, hard or intermittent starting and that symbol (circle with a crossout).
    Those are the things I would replace, in that order.
    There is also a place that describes 'how to' in detail for Cubes -> Cubeowner.com
    Look in the FAQ's, lots of answers there.
    Regards,

  • Beeping sound from hp adapter

    one month back I got my dv6 3056tx notebook's battery is not charging. But upto now I keep managing my laptop because I use my laptop very less. Today when I started plugging in my power adapter and started using laptop , a beep sound came from the adapter. When I shut the power switch,after 5 seconds it stopped beeping. What could be the problem.Do I need to replace it immediately or else it is due to the damaged battery? If I nned to replace my adapter how can I find the model number of my adapter? Pls help...
    Thanks a lot in advance

    Adapters occasionally buzz and whine before they die. It is the circuitry that changes the very high AC wall power to the DC power to the laptop. There are some gates and switches in there that actually move a bit and they can make noise. The adapter could work like that for months or die tomorrow but you should replace it ASAP and keep an eye on it. Do not leave it plugged in to the laptop overnight, for example. There is a very slightly elevated chance of fire.

  • Long beeping sound

    While talking on the phone with a iPhone 5s user (only happens with this person) I occasionally hear a beeping sound it's not a quick beep it's a long continuing beeping noise that stops it's not a certain time limit either. It happens with and without earphones at one point the sound got so loud that I had to jerk my earphones out of my ear because it hurt so badly. I asked the other person if it was them or could they hear it (thinkiń they were joking with me) but they said no and I trust this person (significant other) i so not know where this sound is coming from but I do need help about it if you have and idea that would be great! Thanks

    Boot from the Apple Hardware Test disk and run all tests in a loop by holding down Ctrl + L during the tests. Let it run for a while as it sometimes can take hours for an intermittent issue to show up.

    I saw your post regarding the power adapter. Have you tried another adapter to see if that gets the notebook powering on. Do you see a light on the power adapter at all? It does sound like the power adapter has failed. If you can provide me with your product number I will be able to tell you your batteries part number.

  • QOSMIO X505-Q8104X INTERMITTENT BEEP AND KNOCK-KIND OF NOISE FROM THE HDD...

    I purchased a Qosmio less than 2 months ago.  Today I powered it and a message appeared, something like "Battery has reached it's critical level, to proceed recharge battery or plug AC......".   Apparently when I closed The lid yesterday it didn't shut down, some program couldn't close so it ran out of battery...  I was on AC already so I proceed as normal, but then when I logged on to windows, started noticing a beep moreless every second, not from speakers, from inside the laptop(lower right hand side) along with a low volume knock, associated with what I think was The HDD activity....   I started researching for some info, tried SAFE mode, The beep-knock continued, tried the antivirus scan and only found some cookies and a possible unwanted program, The beep continued...  Whenever I rebooted, it always was stuck by The MSN messenger app, couldn't be closed, I had to force it, this wasn't The case before, sometimes it happened, but this time it was permanent(don't know if this has something to do with The problem). 
    After 2 hours of this, I finally was ready to head to The repair center, maybe I rebooted once again, and it stopped....   The only thing I noticed is that The battery led was red now instead of AMBER....   I didn't try to power the laptop without the battery just on AC, I didn't try to boot without The HDD and using a bootCD......  I held The laptop upside down to check The serial while it was on, just to mention some things...   
    Could it be a HDD problem associated with low battery levels?, or movement while it was on inside The backpack?, The HDD protection has always been on....   Was it a virus?, can a software issue cause this kind of beeping?
    I really want to know what was The problem??, will it come back?, should I check it with The repair center ?, is there some diagnostic tool for The Hardware I can use?, any suggestions?, have someone experienced a similar problem?
    Please help,
    Thanks... 
    Additional info:  Above is mentioned the reboot problem regarding some app, specially MSN messenger preventing a clean restart... something that apparently has nothing to do with the problem...  now that the beep is gone, I tested if the restarting process was ok, or if I had the problem again, and when I tried to restart, closing the lid, again the Messenger had to be forced to close, and the beep started again, for maybe 5-10 senconds and went off again...   so I don't know if this problem has to do with this?, or the restarting-rebooting process is damaged? and has to do with this?...   Also when I restarted the beep was on for maybe 3-5 seconds in another try....   really confused....

    After a long time I'm posting back on this forum and bumping the topic, sorry about that. I just wanted to announce that my problem was finally fixed (in case somebody else shared my problem).
    It turned out to be the laptop's keyboard. When I went to the nearest official technical support office, they disassembled the keyboard from the laptop and we saw that there were some finger and hand smudges all over the metallic, smooth back side of the keyboard along with a stamped sticker that gave us the idea that it had been previously repaired or something similar. They told me that they'd order a replacement keyboard to try out and see if it was certainly the keyboard. I'd have to wait 10 days for the shipment, free of charge tho. I called on the 10th day, brought my Q706 and they replaced the keyboard (I'm positive they did because they left the plastic cover on, just for courtesy). The beeping sound was gone, boot up was a lot faster and there were no more pop ups in Windows prompting me to delete anything. I formatted it once again and for the last time with the automated Toshiba restore program (the one that's stored on a hidden partition) just in case and now it's working as it should have. I'm absolutely happy with my new laptop now. Still disappointed I had to go through all that hassle to have it fixed.
    Hope this helps anybody that had something similar going on.
