    There is a beep every week or so coming from my Dell notebook. Sometimes I am not even at the keyboard when it happens. It is definitely not a Windows beep. It sounds like it is coming from a piece of hardware.

    It is loud and lasts about 1 second.

    There is a thread on this board about a similar issue. There are 10 pages of responses with still no conclusion what exactly it is.

    Mine is a Dell Vostro.
