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!
Additional computer info:
Windows 7.0, 32-bit
4.0 GB installed RAM (2.98 GB usable)
Intel Core i5 CPU, 2.67 GHz

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:

T410 random beep sound( from machine for less than 5 mins) + screen freeze + Blue Screen (some time)

I have new purchased T410 during christmas time.
here is my machine spec(everything from Levono, did not upgrade any parts):
T410, model 2516CTO
8 GB RAM
i7 CPU
500GB HDD
Integried graphic card
Windows 7 professional (applied all latest updates)
Problem random happen, for about 8 times,
System works regularly
and all of sudden machine make continousely "beep" sound(from machine, not speaker),
after that screen freeze,
and then sometime system go back to normal, sometime crash completely to blue screen(most time).
The whole problem takes about 3-5 mins.
1 time it even happen in safe mode (after log in, desktop freezed immediately, then blue screen).
I chkdsk the whole disk found no problem.
I call Lenovo tech support, he ask me restore the original OS(Windows 7 home prim), then he can help me.
I refused because that's mean i have to destroy all the work I done (spend almost a week to install development tools and software) .
Since the problem is random anyway, I just reboot and bakeup more offen. :-(
I used Thinkpad since IBM time, never have problem with previous 2 T Series machines, but this one, not happy.

Macbook not starting up after water spill - beeping sounds

I was cleaning the keyboard with water while it was turned off and accidently spilt about 50-100ml of water onto the keyboard, also accidently turning the computer onto sleep mode at one point. I tried cleaning up the water by letting it drain, but it started coming out of the sides of the computer. That's when the computer started making a strange beeping sound like it was an alarm sound so I quickly pulled the battery out and left it to dry out, took a night for the water to stop dripping out of the sides. In the morning I used a haridryer on coold settings to try and evaporate any remaining water, and tried plugging the power cord in and turning on, but it's not starting up!
My macbook was the 2008 model so it's past warranty, but it's only 2 years old and I really can't afford to buy another one right now because I'm just a poor college student
If anyone has advice on what I could do I would be really greatful...

Have you tried turning the computer on while the computer was plugged in?

X40 strange beeps

Hi everyone!
I don't know anything about computers!
I bought a used X40, and now I am hearing strange beeps every now and then. It seems to be coming from the hard disk. I say "seems" bc I have read that HDs don't beep. Well, all I can say is that it "seems" to be coming from there. It is not the really loud sort of beep that happens when you open or close the lid or do other things. I've turned all those off. Nor is it the keyboard beep from hitting certain keyboard combinations. It's a quieter sort of beep. Just sort of a "blip".
I can't correlate it with any activity. It will beep every few minutes even when I'm not touching the computer. It seems to happen after I've been using it for a while - just typing a Word document. It also seems to happen after the computer has come out of sleep mode.
Any ideas about what this means, or how to deal with it?

i think i know the sound. kinda like snapping a lid on tupperware, right? it's probably the hard drive. i have three x40s and i just changed the hard drives around. the one has a 40 gig that makes that sound. the 60 gig doesn't and the 20 gig doesn't just the 40. it'll do it in any computer i put it in. the internal disc reader makes the sound, when i was cloning it i could really hear it. it just makes that sound whenever, especially when i'm downloading something, or running an application. put your ear on the left palmrest when it does it and see if that's where it's loudest. as far as i can determine its a normal sound for that particular hard drive.

Strange Beep When Shutting Down

Today, when shutting down Windows, I received a strange beep from my MSI Mega 865. I checked the temp, and it's only 48C. Any ideas on what would make it beep when it shuts down?
Note: This noise came as soon as I chose to shut down, and prior to any shut down routines actually running, not towards the end of shutting down.
Might be hyper sensitivity on my part, but any strange noise from this Mega PC is highly disconcerting for me.

You guys are going to think I'm beep happy here , but tonight, when emptying the trash bin, I got another strange beep. The sound is very low, hard to hear, but it is there.
Would my HardDrive firing up / spinning cause some type of system beep? Cause that sucker spun up pretty hard/fast when I emptied the recycle bin.

Lacie 5big Thunderbolt 2 BEEPING SOUNDS!!

- nMP (Late 2013) 3.5 GHz 6-Core, 16GB, AMD FirePro D500 3GB, OS X 10.10.1
- Lacie 5Big Thunderbolt 2 10TB Raid 5 to 8TB (Direct connected to nMP on it's own bus.)
- Updated to latest versions: Lacie Raid Manager, 5Big Firmware and Drivers (un-installed/re-installed multiple times)
Bought a 5Big in Oct of 2014 and it has been both flawless and flawed. Performance wise, it's on par. Fast and safe, just as advertised. Absolutely no issues from that standpoint what so ever.
But......IT KEEPS BEEPING!!
I've reached a breaking point after 50+ interactions on a Lacie Support Ticket. After two refurbished replacement drives. And now on my third replacement that was a brand new drive.
So here's the scenario. I've used the drive like any other person would. I'm a video editor/shooter/photographer. Mainly Adobe Products and Office stuff. I'll be trucking along just fine editing, emailing what have you. I'll get up and go to lunch and when I come back, my computer is asleep. Ok, nothing strange here, wake it up by pressing the space bar. Computer wakes up, monitors come on, 5Big light blinks on the front that it's waking up, the light goes solid blue and then about 5 seconds after the computer comes to life... 5Big light blinks red and 2-3 loud BEEPS sound off, then goes back to solid blue light. (It's irrelevant but I work in a cube land where you can here a mouse ****. These beeps are LOUD, ANNOYING and OBTRUSIVE.)
Now it's not functioning, (for reasons I don't know, other than I installed the latest version) but when I could see the drive in the Lacie Raid Manager it was saying "Adapter 0 Defective fan 0 found". Every single time. And this event is a totally random from what I can tell. Sometimes I'll wake my computer up and no BEEPS happen. Then other times, there's the BEEPS.
The people helping me on the Support Ticket have been friendly and appeared to be insightful but unfortunately is hasn't help with the problem. My last interaction with them left me a little puzzled. I would think that after the second replacement drive I should have been put in touch with the "Advanced Technical Support Team". And why do I have to contact them?? They should read the ticket and get in touch with me??? See below. I haven't received anything after my last post...

The beeping never really went away but it just recently started happening more and more.... I saw that there was a firmware update since we had last talked. So I went ahead with that. Beeping still remains. And now I can't seem to get LRM to work. I open the app and it opens a webpage saying that "Local host cannot be found". I'm about ready to throw in the towel on this... Help please.

Good morning,
I've really appreciated your time on this matter, but given that everything up to and including this point has failed, I believe that at this point it would be prudent to go over the matter with our Advanced Technical Support team. You may contact Support at (855) 588-8520 Option 2 (Mon-Fri 7:00AM-5:00PM PST Fridays closed 2PM to 2:30PM PST). Please be sure to refer to ticket number 103658991 when you call in. Otherwise we can continue here as necessary
Kindest regards.

Thank you for the additional support information.At this point I would prefer to return the unit and get refunded my purchase price. After all of the tried resolutions I can't afford to spend any more time on this issue. I would really appreciate if we could work this out. Thank you.
I feel that I have been more than cordial and have devoted many hours to this issue. Copying data to new drives, packaging and shipping and troubleshooting. I can't find anything online about anyone else having this issue. I can't relate it to any other thing on my computer because it's so random. This has to be some kind of bug and I find it a bit ridiculous that they can't squash it by now.
Has anyone else experience this? I don't know what else to do if they won't take it back. Any and all suggestions appreciate since I've burnt out all of Lacie's options. Really wishing I wouldn't have made the decision to go with the Lacie instead of a G-Tech. Thanks in advance.

LaCie makes the Big5 not G-Tech, you bashed G-Tech in you last line.
As for service support, many hard drive manufacturer's use the ticket system as their way of tracking, thus to be asked to submit a ticket for a replacement drive is not unheard of.
Doing a simple search in google comes up with this document regarding how LaCie reports drive errors. I think it will sound a lot like what you have experienced. Granted it is not an official document nor is it specific to your particular drive, but it would make sense that all their drives would employ a similar error reporting system. http://datarecovery.com/rd/lacie-data-recovery/
You will not get a refund. That is an absolute certainty. Almost every hard drive manufacturer will merely replace the defective drive if it is under warranty. Sounds like they have already been doing that. At this juncture I'd either get a replacement drive (since you're not going to get your money back) or just get a different drive altogether (forget this headache and just move on).

Why ismy mac book pro making a beeping sound every few minutes?

My mac book pro 13" is making a strange sound evefy few minutes. It sounds like a rock being dropped in a pond. I replaced a faulty hard drive recently and I wonder if it is related to that issue.

A rock being dropped in a pond is not a beeping sound. Which one is it?

Fairly loud constant metronome like beeping sound

Today, I picked up my computer and it started to make a strange sound. It is a metronome like beeping sound. It beeps quickly and is fairly loud even when I mute the computer. I would say it sounds like someone tapping on a chalkboard with their finger. When I push down where it seems to be coming from I can get it to stop, otherwise it just starts again. The computer seems to be running fine, except for the loud nice. The sound is nearly consistant from the moment I start up the copmuter, although sometimes it seems to stop for a minute or two, but eventually starts up again.
I have a G60 445DX HP Laptop, it is 3 years old.
If you need any additional information, please don't hesitate to ask.
Thanks.

That usually means a keyboard problem; the 'drumroll' being the key repeat signal.
Not sure about the quivering menus, though, and I wouldn't have thought opening an app would stop it.
Is the keyboard wired or bluetooth?
If wired, try unplugging it and reconnecting.
Bluetooth could possibly need re-pairing, but I don't use one so I'll let someone else have a go at that.
Certainly it's not normal and I'd want to get to the bottom of it.

You posted in the Socket A forum, I've moved this to the AMD64 Nforce Forum.
BTW your specs don't say exactly what board you have, and it would be better if you copied that information into a real signature. Enter your profile to do so, No one is going to want to be scrolling or trolling through the thread to find out your hardware..

Strange beeps on my Satellite A210

Hey!
I have Satellite A210- f16 (PSAELE).
I installed WXP over Vista and I got some strange beeps from the pc time to time.
Than I thought it was because wrong drivers (because Toshiba did not upped original drivers btw).
So I installed Vista back with recovery disk (I have adobe flash player problem btw - Ive removed all Toshiba software).
Now I get the same problem...there are strange beeps from time to time...
Does someone have the same problem(s)?
BTW: when will Toshiba put the official WXP drivers on the site? Does someone know?
Thanks

Hi
A friend of mine has a Sat A200 and he has noticed a strange, low beep from time to time coming from the notebook
He has spoken to a technician and he said that this could be a BIOS beep sound.
However, the notebook runs well and he didnt notice any issues.
So dont worry, lean back and enjoy ;)

P965 Platinum + strange beeps at start-up (USB related?)

Hi,
I just installed a new PC based on a MSI P965 Platinum. Everything seems to work fine but at start-up (when you see the BIOS detecting USB devices and the primary IDE) I get some strange beeps. There are about 5 beeps, and they don't sound all the same. When i remove all USB devices these beeps do not occur.
I have succesfully installed windows Vista and everything seems to work fine.
I have already update the BIOS to version 1.4, but no change.
Anybody any idea ?

you probably have a USB storage device that the BIOS is trying to boot and found it is not bootable, and hence BEEP
maybe you can disable Boot from USB in the BIOS to get rid of the beeping

External Hard Drive Doesn't Appear and Makes a Beeping Sound

I have a Mobile XXS external hard drive from Freecom (approx 460 GB) that works fine on my father's G3 iBook, but when I plug it into my G4 Aluminum Powerbook (OS 10.5) it runs, but doesn't appear on the desktop. It also makes a continuous beeping sound. I want to back up all my music projects. As far as I know the USB ports work because I'm able to use my iPod. This isn't an Apple product but the Freecom website doesn't have a very active forum. I was wondering if anyone had any experience with something like this. I appreciate any help.

It sounds like a USB-only hard drive, and the Powerbook G4 is notorious for not providing enough power for many external USB drives.
The usual suggestions are:
-Try a double (Y-style) USB cable to draw power from two ports for the drive
-Add a mains power adapter to the drive, if possible
-Try using the drive through a powered USB hub
Firewire drives don't seem to suffer from this problem.
