I have a new HP Notebook which I got 4 days ago and it is inexpilcably beeping at random intervals. If I had to describe it, it sounds like a chirp or like a muffled, short alarm clock buzz. It only does one beep (except 5 minutes ago when it did 2 beeps consecutively), it started out at 5-6 beeps per hour and seems to be increasing slightly. I can’t really tell where exactly the sound is coming from but it is not the speakers (which I have on mute) and I can’t tell what conditions are triggering it.<\/p>\n
I’d love an explanation for it, I’ve tried searching online and plenty of other people have reported a similar problem with HP laptops but they never seem to find a solution. Even HP support never seem to come up with an explanation or a solution.<\/p>\n
I tried bringing up the BIOS and starting a Hard Disk Self Check, I did a quick one (15 mins or so) and a thorough check with took about 6 1\/2 hours. The Hard Drive passed both tests. Ditto Memory. I’ve also tried updating all the drivers on the laptop and checked its temperature and that all seems fine. I don’t know if it is related but I was having problems with my Disk Usage, which was between 95-100% when I wasn’t doing anything, I think I’ve resolved that now. The notebook seems to be running fine now and my only problem is this odd beep.<\/p>\n
Any suggestions much appreciated.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"iawp_total_views":9},"question-category":[47],"question_tags":[],"class_list":["post-8445","question","type-question","status-publish","hentry","question-category-hardware"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/question\/8445","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/question"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/question"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8445"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8445"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"question-category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/question-category?post=8445"},{"taxonomy":"question_tags","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/question_tags?post=8445"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
