Annoying chirping
« on: November 20, 2006, 03:22:45 PM »
I have encountered a very annoying chirping sound.  It reduced significantly after running a v scan. Only one v found.  it stops every time I run a v scan and then starts after a few mins - intermittently.

It's difficult to say but seems related to hardware (HDD) and not software...  ::)

Yes I do agree with Tech that this is probably the hard drives  :P
(Mine does the same, but now I'm used to it )  ;D

Normally I don't submit "me too" posts, but this may be of help...

I had a "chirping" sound a while back, and thought it was the hard drive too.

In my case however, it wasn't the hard drive. It turned out to be a dry bearing in the CPU fan. I had it replaced along with the heat sink for $12.50 at a local computer repair shop.

Edit:

A quick search found this interesting site:
