Tecra R940-S9421 Repeating Beep sounds like a buzzing noise

I have an intermittent issue where the Tecra R940-S9421 will begin a buzzing noise which comes thru the speakers.
I thought I had a hardware issue at first but when I muted the sound the buzzing dissapated.
So I googled the issue and found a fix whereby I must go to Device Manager / View Hidden Devices / go to Non plug and Play Items and uninstall the BEEP entry ---- this has worked for now just hoping it will not come back .....
Is this a known problem with Tecra ? Anyone else with the issue that knows a more permanent fix ?

Look at my other posts I've made about this issue. I am having the same problems. I wish apple would say whether this is a fault or if it is supposed to be this way.

Audiobooks stop playing and start repeating a sound (like a broken record). Music plays as it should. Any suggestions?

Audiobooks (from Audible) play until the later chapters in the books. Then, it stops playing, and sounds like a broken record stuck on one sound. I've tried re-syncing. I've restored factory settings and I've deleted the book from the library and reloaded it into iTunes. Any suggestions? It's happened with more than one book.

I have the same issue and went to the genius bar. They tried something in iTunes but it didn't work. So they proposed me to leave them my computer for a few days so that they can figure out what this is. Unfortunately I cannot do that right now.
I am really interested in a solution

Ok- I might need to be a bit more specific-- My MacBook Pro is suddenly making a whirling noise-- sometimes it's quiet but other times you can really hear it from across the room. This just started happening-- it almost sounds like a tweeting noise --

I submitted a question last night but wasn't specific enough-- My MacBook Pro is suddenly making a whirling noise when it's on. Sometimes it's not too loud-- but other times it almost sounds like a tweeting-- there is nothing in the DVD/CD drive-- Is this something I should have looked at?

This is not normal. It is better to have it checked. Take it to the Apple Store.
Best.

MacPro graphics card fan sounds like a buzz saw.

.MacPro3,1 stock ATI Radeon HD 2600. Constant and loud. For a couple of months would get this sound for a short period, usually when booting up, but it never persisted. Now suddenly it is constant, though once in a great while drops in level and chugs, sounding like it's laboring. Generally a steady whine. Computer functions fine (HD video editing) and has through heavy use for years. Have card in slot 1. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks

If I were in your situation, I would simply replace the card. It's just old.
Apple Radeon 5770 is the best upgrade option if you are running Snow Leopard. It's a much better GPU and 100% compatable.
If you must keep the 2600, then try cleaning the dust off of it.

My 27 in iMac mid 2011 will start making a beeping sound, like a stuck keyboard key. It will start up for no reason and it will stop if I hit the keyboard, only to start again. Any idea how if stop this?

My iMac will start beeping like a stuck key. It started this after updating to mountain lion. and after I updated memory to 20 gigs (2x 8gigs, 2x 2gigs)
I have a seagate thunderbolt back up drive attached.
The beeping starts at random times even when the computer ( and me too) are sleeping.
Help!!!
Thanks

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?

MacBook makes repeated beeping noise when attempting to turn on?

My MacBook ran out of battery. When I went to power it on it makes a loud repeating beeping sound and will not power on. Anyone have any ideas or heard of this problem before?

Power On Self-Test Beep Definition - Part 2

What does it mean when I try to start my old iMac and I get a beep beep beep that sounds like a truck backing up?

I have an iMac that was running Lion, and everything just died. I tried to wipe the hard drive and reinstall the operating system, but now when I boot I get a beep beep beep that sounds like a truck backing up. What is wrong?

How many beeps?
1 tone, repeating every 5 seconds: This indicates no RAM is installed.
3 successive tones, a 5 second pause (repeating): This indicates RAM does not pass a data integrity check.
1 long tone while holding down the power button: Indicates an EFI ROM update is in progress on a computer manufactured before 2012.
3 long tones, 3 short tones, 3 long tones: Indicates EFI ROM corruption is detected and the computer is in EFI ROM recovery mode.

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.

Since you are covered by warranty, I would take it to your nearest Apple store immediately. There might be a problem with the RAM. And, you have 14 days to return the machine, so if it is not an easy fix, you might want to consider returning it for another machine.

High-pitched beep/sound during sleep and shut down modes

I just wish to check whether is it normal that there's high pitched beep (not very loud but can be heard in a quiet room) which seems to be from the LED or AC Adapter during sleep mode. The beep sounds continuous when the computer has been shut down or in off mode while the main plug of where the ac adapter is connected to is still on. Is this normal? My computer works fine. Battery is charging fine. I just want check whether is this normal. It is has been like that ever since I bought my computer on March 2012.
HP Pavilion dm4-3005tx Entertainment Notebook PC

Hello Huanwei,
It appears that you can hear a "high pitched beep" coming from the notebook while it's in sleep mode or even off, when the power adapter is plugged in and "on". I will try to help you with this.
Normally, this should not happen. Beeping from a computer may happen during start up a few times to indicate components enabling, but any constant beeping or being while the computer is off shouldn't happen.
Does this occur, if the AC adapter is not connected to the notebook when it is in sleep mode or off? Do you only notices this, in a specific location? (office, etc.)
I would suggest, depending on the setup of things. Taking the notebook with no AC to another location in the house. A quiet one, make sure your not near any other electronics (no watches or cell phones either) let the notebook sleep and see if you hear the beeping. If not, then power it off and test again. If no beeping, this is good and the notebook is fine.
Repeat that same test with the power adapter connected ( again no other electronics around you). Listen while it is "sleeping" and off to see if you can hear the beeping again.
If you do disconnect the AC from the notebook , but leave that connected to the wall and take the notebook out of that location, go back to see if you can hear beeps again. If you do it could be the AC adapter. If you don't then it could be an issue with that only when it's connected.
If there was no beeping when the AC was connected in this "testing location", then I would guess it is something else within the house that is beeping (we have seen that before). In which case you'd have nothing to worry about in regard to your notebook.
Let me know where the above leads.
Thank you for posting on the HP Forums.
