Cricket sounds - 2009/03/23 19:18 I have 10.4.11. Ibook G4. I can't remember if I had this problem with 10.39 or if it has started since upgrading to 10.4.11

Whenever I turn the sound up on my computer, I get a chirping sound, similar to a cricket. I don't know where it is coming from or how to get rid of it. I went to preferences, but didn't see anything that would help.

It doesn't chirp constantly-it seems like it does it every minute. I checked it out with a minute hand, and it is about every minutes. It chirps about 5 times, then stops. About a minute later it chirps again. I thought it might be a timer of some sort, but can find anything to turn off.

Re:Cricket sounds - 2009/03/23 20:42 Don't know if this is the cause, but if my computer's sound system always intercepts a wireless phone signal . . . and chirps at me a couple of seconds before the phone rings.

Re:Cricket sounds - 2009/03/24 14:59 That doesn't seem to be the problem here. Like I said it chirps about once every minute when I turn the sound up. When I say up, I mean I usually keep the sound off, so I don't hear anything. When I turn the sound up, it chirps.
