Answer 1

Those clicks you are hearing are indicator sounds Internet Explorer provides to tell you each time a server is being contacted for something, and you can turn them off.

1. Click Start on your desktop and select Control Panel.

2. From this list, pick Sounds and Audio Devices (for Windows XP) or Sounds and Multimedia Properties (for Windows 2000). A dialog window opens.

3. From the tabs across the top, select Sounds.

4. Scroll down and you will find a category called Windows Explorer. The last item under this heading is Start Navigation. Click this to highlight it.

5. In the box just below this, called Sounds, open the pop-up menu and scroll to the top and choose (None).

6. Click the OK button to close the dialog window.

Answer 2

The clicking sound is also a sign of cookies being embedded into your computer. As you know, Yahoo collects personal information from you and they have that disclaimer.

Answer 3

If the page auto refreshes you will have that click sound. If it annoys you too much you can disable the sound in your sounds setting under control panel.

Answer 4

when a web page loads different stuff it clicks... nothing to worry about. sounds like you need a new laptop for christmas!

Answer 5

Its just programs loading or unloading in the background. Shouldn't be a problem.

Answer 6

If your computer is not working properly while you are working on it, it could be a problem with device drivers, hardware or software.
