Loud Beep Noise made whenever Sound buttons pressed to increaase or decrease volume

I have a very irritating loud "Beep Sound" that is being made whenever I press the Volume Increase or Decrease buttons.
How do I turn this off.
I have searched all the sound related settings, but not found the right place. I contacted one of the other Sunscriber Pros (Mark_Lenovo), but was referred to this Forum.
Thanks
Raphael

Restart your computer and press ThinkVantage button to get to Bios Settings and in there you will find the setting under Alarms.
This has taken me 18 months to find!!
Now I have a quiet Volume Control!

Final Cut Express REALLY loud beeping noise?

i've been using Final Cut Express for a few months now,
i have just started to edit a new video and i was listening back the music to see if it was mixed right, then a REALLY LOUD beep started. my macbook was on volume 2 out of 16 and it sounded as tho i had my laptop of full! or louder :/
what is this?
the first time i played the music, it didn't happen, but the second time it did? - it also did the same thing the other day!
-it isn't because i haven't rendered my music, because all my music and video is rendered. the noise is 100% louder than the 'unrendered' beeping

Beeping is usually an artifact of using iMovie video in FCE.
What exactly are your sequence settings & clip properties? (Frame size, vid rate & compressor).
And are you really using Final Cut Express on a Lion (10.7.3) machine?

MacBook won't boot up -- Loud Beep Noise

I just started encountering this problem today. My MacBook worked just fine yesterday, and then when I went to turn it on today, it refuses to boot up. I get the startup sound, and then after that just a loud noise that goes "BEEP, BEEP, BEEP......BEEP, BEEP, BEEP..." on and on. Does anyone know what could be causing this, and how to fix it? Thanks in advance.

I thought I would give an update to my situation now that it's been resolved. Initially, the computer would get stuck on the gray screen and give the three beeps randomly. Sometimes it would boot up like normal, and other times it wouldn't. It seemed like more often than not, it would boot up fine when it was plugged into the wall instead of just running on battery power. This problem cropped up out of nowhere, because the computer had not been dropped or banged or jolted at all.
I took it to my local Apple store, where it failed to demonstrate my error for the Genius (of course lol). He did confirm that the symptoms I was describing indicated problems with the RAM or RAM slots, but since the error wasn't occuring, he really couldn't help me. He did re-seat the RAM cards for me just to be sure, and sent me on my way telling me to download all the latest software updates, and to bring it back if the error occurred again.
As soon as I get home, the error happens! I made an appointment to go back to the Apple store the next day, where it did actually demonstrate the error for the Genius. She said that I would need to check it in to be repaired and she disappeared to the back to quote me a repair time. When she came back, she instead offered to exchange the computer for me, and since I had no important data on the computer, and I backed up what I did have, I accepted. Everything has been working fine ever since.

Loud Beeping Noise Coming from Speakers - Virus?

Ok,
So when I'm surfing in Safari i suddenly get beeping or actually its more of a drumming sound coming from the speakers a bit like 'dum dum dum', if i click on something on the page the noise will stop providing i don't release my finger off the mouse, once i do the noise starts again. If i close safari the noise will stop, however it randomly starts again... sometimes during the night when i've gone to sleep (with safari logged off).
Also during this stage of 'dum dum dum', if i click on anything in a menu bar the pull down appears however my chosen open which i have highlighted with arrow appears to highlight something else in the menu.
So far i've changed the mouse, can't narrow it down to a particular application. Any ideas? Virus perhaps?
By the way, i'm still trying to upload a video of the sound on youtube but its taking ages,
Thanks in advance.

Yep, disabled that one. Sound has gone way for the moment, but now my mouse is having the same problem, when i click on a menu e.g History (in safari), move my mouse pointer to say Yesterday it highlights something else in the menu and jumps around. Very strange this.

Loud beeping noise when I turned the computer on

2 days after bringing my new macbook home I turned it on and there was a loud, continuous beeping sound which only stopped after I turned the computer off. It hasn't happened since then but is this something to worry about?

I have the same thing, and in addtion my keyboard and touchpad stopped working

Loud beep when restarting.

Earlier today, I was in class and everything was running a bit slow on my Macbook. So I shut it down and about an hour later when I was back home I turned it on and it made a loud Beep. Then whenever I restart it makes the optical drive little sound like when waking from sleep and then the sleep indicator light flashes really fast. Then it makes a loud beep sound and starts booting. Also has my indicator light on the power cord always been red?
Thanks

i have no idea what is happening but if there is a apple store nearby they can take a look at it.

Not restarting; loud beeping when attempting to restart

I was running a DVD on my macbook when it froze. after doing everything I could to restart it (force quit, trying to eject the disc, etc.), I shut down my computer to restart it. Now every time I try to turn it on, it goes to the gray screen (without the apple sign), and makes a loud beeping noise I've never heard a Mac make, only PCs. It beeps three times, then pauses, then repeats. It does this if I'm running on battery or if it's plugged into the power adapter.
Is there some way I can eject the disc? Would this help? Or is this beyond my (poor) computer skills and do I need to take it in to the experts?

See Power On Self-Test Beep Definition - Part 2. You may want to run the diagnostics:
How to run hardware diagnostics for an Intel Mac
Boot from your original OS X Installer Disc One that came with your computer. After the chime press and hold down the "D" key until the diagnostic screen appears. Run the extended tests for a minimum of two or three hours. If any error messages appear note them down as you will need to report them to the service tech when you take the computer in for repair.
Some "common" error indicators:
SNS - sensor error
MEM - memory error
HDD - hard disk drive error
MOT - fan error

Loud Beep/Tone

Over the last couple of days my PowerBook has intermittently made a loud single beep/tone noise. I've no idea why.
It's loud enough that you can feel it when typing, it's not the hard disc making noises it's a definate loud beep noise.
Any ideas other than to run and back it up?
Thank you
Stu

Well I may have found a solution, at least to my own problem. I un-checked the Put the hard disk(s) to sleep when possible box in the power management section, and the beeping has stopped. I'm not entirely sure how the two would be related, especially since this wasn't the behavior in the past, but at least so far it seems to be working.
I stayed up until about 6:30 this morning fiddling with the laptop, and I had noticed that the computer beeped about once per hour. I then noticed it beeped after about a half hour, and started trying to figure out what the cause may be. I realized I had briefly dozed off in that half hour time, bringing all real activity on the computer (at least input from me) to a halt. Made sense that the hard drive would be able to go to sleep after a shorter amount of time if the user had passed out.
Now this may be speculation, luck, voodoo, or some combination of them all. I'm not entirely sure. If that was the fix, I'd really like to know why on earth there would be a beep to notify me that the hard drive was putting itself to sleep. I use this laptop in a classroom setting, having it beep because I'm trying to save power simply isn't an option.

Beeping noise plays on imported iMovie footage

Hi
I'm a new Final Cut Express user - trying to learn...Can anyone tell me why there is a loud beeping noise when I play my imported iMovie in Final Cut? I have read on some of the discussion boards that it's necessary to remove the audio from the track before importing which I didn't do (not sure how but I'll give it a whirl!).
Thanks!

Three beeps at startup indicate 'no good banks', meaning the system can't access the RAM.
It may be that your RAM itself is bad, or that it has come unseated. It could also indicate a more serious motherboard fault which prevents the RAM being accessed, but that is unlikely.
If you have opened the mini in the past it may be that the best way to check is to do so again and ensure the RAM is properly seated by removing it and reinserting. If you replaced the original RAM and still have the original stick, try putting that back in. Also note that Macs are typically very sensitive to RAM incompatibilities, and there have been cases where systems fail as yours appears to have done for no reason other than that a RAM stick was marginal in compatibility.
If you upgraded the RAM yourself and bought the replacement stick from a source such as Crucial.com which permits unconditional exchanges, contact them and arrange to have the memory replaced.
The link to the Apple page referring to the startup error beeps is at http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=58442

Loud beep sound when starting up my Mac book air (2007), right before the classic start-up noise

There is a very loud beep right before the classic Mac start up "bong"
I'm thinking there might be something wrong with the ram...
Any answers? Thanks!

Although it's an older article, for the most part it's applicable -
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2538
The beep on startup is usually an indication of a failed RAM module. It's also possible that a recent firmware update on the machine was botched. If you didn't recently perform a firmware update then it's probably the RAM. As the RAM is soldered directly to the logic board it cannot be replaced individually, it'd require a full logic board replacement.
Given the age of the machine, it's unlikely still covered by the AppleCare Protection Plan and definitely not the one year limited warranty.
The next course of action would be to bring the machine into the Genius Bar or AASP and have them evaulate your repair options.

Volume button making sound when pressed

When I press my volume buttons, a loud popping/clicking noise happens with each press. It shows the volume adjusting on my screen, but I can't get this cracking noise to stop. Help?

Sorry that the suggestion did not work.
You can revert back to the preference selection as it it was before the change.
System Preferences > Sound > Sound Effects
Checkmark the box next to "Play feedback when volume is changed".
You may have to take the computer to the Apple store to have it checked out.
Best.
