my mac pro is making a cough-like sound at random times. i think it might be a notification sound but i can't seem to figure out what it is, and it's starting to get really annoying. ANYONE KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM MAY BE? PLEASE HELP!
MacBook Pro
It's hard to say what could be causing this from the information you provide. Cough? Zoom sound? Could this be a mail or IM program indicating incoming items? Do you have any other problems using your computer or any other symptoms to report? Any suspicous entries in your Console logs? It may help to indicate your specific computer model and version of OS X. Sorry to be of so little help.
it's hard for me to explain what exactly it is, but when i unchecked the user interface box in the sound preferences, it still made the sound. It doesn't seem to be a computer problem because the sound seems to be coming out of the speakers. my friend mentioned something about how she heard it too and thought it was because a program or application was loading.
You computer model number or year? Version of OS X you're running? You said in the original post that these sounds are at random times, so I'll assume this isn't due to some sound effect setting in System Preferences. Open up the Console (in Launchpad > Utilities assuming you're running Lion) and select All Messages. If there is a common entry that appears in Console at the same time these noises are produced, report back what it is and someone may be able to help you. If not, I'm mystified - hardware problem?
its more of a zoom sound now that i think about it ! PLEASE HELP
