My MacBook Pro makes random beeps

Hi,


I bought a new MacBook Pro a few days ago, and it randomly makes this beeping sound. It's not like a problem noise and it comes from speakers. A bit something like a Skype sound, but it's not Skype...

It may be something very simple that I don't understand, but please note that I switched from Windows only 3 days ago.


Best Regards,

Edlund

I have had the same problem and believe the solution is really simple.


Open Skype, and in Preferences look at Notifications. Then uncheck the "Play sounds related to contact availability" - by default, Skype makes a subtle but annoying sound when contacts come online, for example. That explains why it happens at random intervals too.


Hope that helps someone 🙂

I am having an issue with my macbook pro as well. It is a Late 2011 Macbook pro and as of this morning it has been making beeping sounds. I have muted my macbook but the noise is still continuing. I attempted to restart it as well and the noise hasn't stopped. It is just a beep every 30 seconds or so, any suggestions on what it might be?
