High pitch screech comeing for Laptop

So I am sitting here just bumping away & my laptop makes a very High pitch screech (almost like a that evil sound dial up would make) but it only lasted about 1/8th of a sec long. My volume is turned off so I know it was not a website.

What do you think it could be? I did notice a windows has started a update, do you think it has something to do with that? My laptop is on all day but is asleep for most of it.

Warning No formatter is installed for the format bbhtml

Re: High pitch screech comeing for Laptop

  • Was your cell phone located near it and if so, did you get a text or call near the same time?  A lot of times I've seen interference come through computer speakers and it's the exact same "dial up" high pitch noise but for a split second.  I have only seen it happen on a desktop, but I'm sure it can happen with a laptop too.  It happens in my car sometimes as well -- and sometimes not even when a call/text is coming through.  That would be my only guess!  Unless you had some other type of electronic device near your laptop (pager, blackberry, etc).
  • We used to have an issue w/ ours making a high pitched screech now & then. Turns out it was the fan bearing. It was a mechanical problem, not a software one.
