Driving me crackers
I keep hearing a weird noise. Imagine someone trying to send morse-code, but rather than tapping a little telegraph switch, you play short bursts on a bassoon. That's what it sounds like.

I thought it was my speakers, so I turned them off, back on, checked the connections. Tried different speakrs. Took the sides of the PC to see if a fan was catching. Changed the fans in case something was vibrating. Checked the CD-ROM tray.

I then checked the central heating boiling, bled the radiators, opened the back door and had a listen in case it was some workmen up the street.

I managed to solve the mystery. The next-door neighbours have put an old TV in their dining room which joins onto my living room. It's not loud enough to hear what they're watching, but the speakers are a bit buzzy and that's all I can hear unless I go press my ear againts the wall.

Thinking outside the box (ugh, buzzword) isn't my strong point.
