    intermittent tone after windows upgrade


    I have an intermittent tone after my latest windows upgrade... it is a steady tone... sounds like a pure sine wave of F note. It goes away when when normal sound is being played such as a youtube video and if you change volume it goes away momentarily. It is the even there with the speaker turned off via the volume slider. Quite annoying. Just like endless updates to windows.

    :)

    Tones When Pressing Keys


    Intermittently, when I press some keys on the keyboard, I would hear a triple-tone from Windows 10. Nothing would happen, but the three tones have progressively lower pitch, immediately followed by a four-tone signal, which have progressively higher pitch. This is the same signal that Windows makes when one unplugs an USB device and plugs it back in.

    I cannot figure out which keys trigger this reaction. I know for a fact that arrow keys do it, but I think the enter key does it also, or even the space bar.

    This only happens on my son's computer (desktop, home-built). There's no adverse effect on the performance of the computer, but it's a mystery why it happens and what the computer is actually doing.

    Can anyone help me solve this mystery?
