Try sitting at the computer. Don't get up and wiggle all cables one by one and see if you hear the sound again.

the house we are in was built in 1908 so it does shake with every step, so it might just be the moving motion making one of the USD cables wiggle

Would you please reply to the steps I gave you there?

The CIA is trying to contact you. Next time it beeps, stay by the computer. When the screen flashes twice, press enter. Then you'll know.

Or it could be a power-saving feature of a wireless device you have.

Try moving the machines to another location. Could be squeaky floor joists as Lady Fitz said.

wiggling the cables while i sit there didn't do anything, but i have noticed that it does have i direct correlation to the chair rebounding from being sat in. My wife and I have the same chairs so it has to be something involving the chair's rebound shacking something to cause the sound but it does occasionally make the the reconnect tone hen my wife gets back in her chair.

that is pretty much why i came here, nothing makes sense as to why it is doing, that is why i came here to see if there might have been something that i over looked. my best guess would have been one of the input devices wiggling when i get up but nothing physically moves. the weirdest part is that it does it to both of our computers. it doesn't really bother me that it does it but since i haven't encountered anyone say that their computer does that i figured i would try and look into it.

Do you happen to have a hub that might need power to it ?
Also is your Mouse powering off after not being touched it might be the mouse cutting connection after use

I would pull all the usb cables and apply them one by one till it does it also if you have something plugged in like a 360 controller or maybe a dead tablet to plug in it also makes a constant trying to connect sound

If you have the rebound overclocked you could reduce it and see if that helps

or try another chair to see if you still have the same issue?

I've asked him twice now to do this but he just ignores the practical help suggestions and prattles on.

It's the two chairs losing gas from the suspension cylinders.
