Makes me wonder if this is why the board was so slow during the day - they were loading the advert to annoy!! It would be nice to think that, just once, GR thought more about their fee-paying customers than their advertisement money! maggie

I have just seen this thread and now I know I am not going mad. My pc made this noise earlier tonight and I hadn't a clue what was happening. Jenny

I wondered what it was! I've had that sound twice just now, but I have a pop up blocker and don't have any ads on here. Maybe the sound is still coming through. Sue xx

Glad I saw this thread. My laptop has only done it once tonight, and I spent 5 minutes looking round the room to see who'd left a phone/clock lying about. I didn't want to tell my son I thought it was the computer, as he thinks I'm mad at the best of times. Glad it's not me after all. Kath. x
