    Default Computer making annoying "mooing" noise past several days.

    I've got a somewhat, er, interesting and annoying computer problem here.

    During the past few days, my laptop, when I visit certain websites (most notably CNN.com and Youtube) makes a sound that can best be described as a cow's "mooing" sound (or like a very heavy wooden door creaking on rusty hinges). It's very annoying, and I have no idea what's causing it.

    Any ideas? I'm running Windows Vista on a Dell Inspiron 1501 laptop.

    Is the sound hardware or software? Ie, is it coming from the hardware components, or coming from your laptop speakers?

    It's coming from the speakers.

    When in need of computer assistance, Batman turns to the Oracle (also once known as Batgirl).

    I had a similar issue when I visited certain sites, then I noticed it was those annoying advertisement banners that made those noises.

    LOL - Mr. Batman, Nightwing here can confirm that it is indeed a sound coming from those annoying ads

    Maybe your computer is turning into a cow?
