A Little Something To Give You A Chuckle

Just picked up a new system running Vista 64 bit. This is my first
experience with Vista and I'm real disappointed at the speed, or should I
say, lack of. That's not what this post is about. What I'm experiencing
<hearing> is a series of knocks, as if someone is lightly knocking on a
door. I kid you not. This happens maybe twice every half hour. I checked
the default sound scheme and found nothing that matches it. Is it time for
a new hearing aid, brain enema, etc.?

Don't pick a fight with an old man.
If he is too old to fight, he'll just kill you.

Try 4 or 5 beers and see if you still hear it.

If your hard disk is having problems you may hear a thunk or thunk-thunk as
the head homes to try to recover from an error.
Your system may have a utility to monitor the disks 'SMART' (hard disk
monitoring) reporting.


You could turn off/unplug your speakers to make sure of source of the sound.

I'd crank the volume and leave it for a bit until you hear the sound
again - if it's louder, it's software; if not, something's actually
clunking somewhere.

Not at the speed these fans are spinning. I swear it sounds like someone
knocking at a door.

Don't pick a fight with an old man.
If he is too old to fight, he'll just kill you.

Do you have an IM program running, like ICQ, AIM, Messenger? Those have
sound effects.
Also check the system sounds, to see if one of them is the culprit. Start -
Control Panel - Sound - Sounds

After reading many of your replies this surprises me.............NOT!

Been there, done that. Definitely coming from the speakers. It sounds like
AIM when someone comes online, but I have no gabbing programs installed.

Then it's definitely software. Way louder with the sound cranked up. This
is driving me nuts
