Random Beeping noises coming from my laptop #HPExpertDay

[Miemsicles]

Hi There, 

Since last week my laptop has been making strange beeping noises that sound like dialling on a keypad - kinda like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W4UVNeUAXco

It been happening more frequently this morning.  The sound occurs through all outputs, normal speakers and headphones - simultaneously if both are plugged in.

Running on windows 10 - and this has been very buggy. 

Please advise.

Hi,

Try running an antimalware program like Malwarebytes antimalware (free) and adware remover.

After that try reinstalling the audio drivers on your PC:

Also check Task Manager (startup) which applications are starting up with windows and disable any unwanted programs.

Hope it helps,

David

Thanks David. 

I tried this but still persisting. I did find quite a lot of malware on my laptop though. so could be related.

Hi,

I am not sure if it is related. I would try updating all drivers and bios if avialable.

Run this free trial for Malware:

Hitmanpro

Kaspersky free security scan

Let me know,
