    I could have swore that someone had asked this before, but there's a random bubble or pop noise coming out of the speakers. It sounds like a system sound or something, but I have no clue what its coming from. It doesn't sound like distortion.

    Random? Does it happen when you close windows, click, or anything like that? Is the "pop" the one you hear when you get notifications on the task bar?

    Random, yes. It just pops once in a while (every 15 secs to 1 min when I notice it). I'm seriously debating reinstalling Vista. I'm not sure what HP software is necessary and which isn't.

    Try turning off the notification sound for a bad fingerprint scan. I had a problem where my fingerprint scanner would randomly scan if a breeze went over it and it would produce a quite popping sound which is the "bad scan" sound.

    It would be good to start your own thread. It makes searching easier.

    I am getting the same sound from my laptop, the dv6000, although the sound is every 30 seconds. The sound has something to do with the battery. When I pull mine out (stupid piece of ****) it goes away...

    This issue is solved. I doubt it's the same issue, unless voltage problems when on the laptop is on battery are causing the fingerprint reader to freak out. The noise I heard was the unsuccessful fingerprint scan noise.
