MY Computer Knows When I go to Walk Away?

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

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

everything you unplug will make the noise when it is reconnected, how would this help? I have disconnected and reconnected everything that is connected and have not come across anything that makes sense to be the source of the problem. it isn't the key board, the mouse, the printer, or the speakers.

I have done the normal practical before I came here to see what this forum thought i could be. so far all i have received are the practical things (that i have done again), skeptics telling me that I am messing with them, and now someone that assumes I am ignoring the practical when I only wished for a possible explanation as to why two separate and different computers that have only 4 things in common, 1 in the same house on the same wall, 2 same cheap desk, 3 same used chair, 4 they both have Intel i5 processors.

If there is no explanation then there is no explanation, this was originally meant as an inquiry, the sound does not affect anything other than seeming as the computer is acknowledging the user's departure from the input/output interface of the computer.

"remember what happens when you assume, you make an ass out of u and me"

I think your chairs need to be reseated.

First of all, I haven't got any logical answer to this horror story at all.

These forums sometimes scare the hell out of me, I seriously had goosebumps after I read the entire thread. Happens to both systems, machines acting so creepy, house built in 1908, OMG, stop this discussion please, that house is haunted for sure.

no known deaths have taken place at this house so the odds are that it isn't haunted, but the wiring is sub par and may have something to do with it but i would have expected brown out or circuit breaker trips from that. still have to get back to rechecking the one by one USB port as gregrocker said to try.

@ OP. Darn you! Now my computer's doing it! It's all your fault!

All seriousness aside, my new rig will make occasionally the disconnect sound when I touch the case and get a slight static discharge. The computer case is grounded so it's not going to hurt things but, until I made the connection, it was starting to make me think it was a puka or was infested with leprechauns. It's still a bit disconcerting when I make a bio break run in the middle of the night, lightly brush against the computer as I waddle by (you try walking straight with your legs crossed!), and hear the sound while in a semi-conscious state.

I figured it out, it was a USB expansion port that came with the desks. I figured it out when my wife used hers as an extension cable to connect to the printer and it started rapidly disconnecting and reconnecting. I disconnected mine and it hasn't made a noise since. appears that it was just the cheap USB expansion port itself and not the connection to the computer.

it wouldn't have occurred to me until my wife's computer acted up. figures it was something simple and easy to resolve.
