So the past couple of months my laptop have been making these beeping sounds. The sound isn't coming from windows, meaning it is a hardware sound. I ignored it at first but now it became more frequent. The sound seem to come from the left side of my laptop, and usually it is a followed by s trange sound, if I had to name it is like a clicking sound. Should I be concerned? What is a fix for this?

No, I haven't done any software or hardware changes recently.
The beeps are very distant usually, sometimes I don't hear them for weaks while at times they can be 2 says apart.
No lights appear on my laptop whenever the beeping occurs.
I will try to perform the solutions you gave and get back to you with updates.

Sorry for taking this long to reply, but I needed to wait a while since this isn't an issue that I can be sure is resolved in an instant. Sadly my laptop made the beeping sound again last night, the frequency is much lower now, no beeping for a whole 2 weeks before this.
