Web pages loading make "clicking sounds".
You can turn it off if it really bugs you through the sounds menu in control panel.

It doesnt't nessesarily mean you have spyware. It could simply be that the webpage you currently have open is displaying an ad that continously refreshes itself or cycles thru a number of different ads all in the same slot. Try watching the page you notice the sound coming from. See if you notice pictures changing or the little green loading bar at the bottom of your screen appearing.

the mouse "click" sound is a system sound that shares itself with alot of functions ie. clicking internet links, opening folders. some applications running in the background can also trigger this sound when they are doing something. usually you'll hear it at startup, but it could happen also when you're viewing web pages, cuz if a pop-up blocker is running, it could be making them as well. you can disable it in control panel if need be, but it shouldnt be something to worry about unless you start getting really bad system performance

You could have food caught under the clicker or even spyware if the actual mouse is moving around on it's own, if that you can download a good spyware blocker. Sounds like something caught in the mouse.

Sounds like you have spyware on your pc. Install spybot or install yahoo tool bar which contains anti-spyware tools or check out web sit majorgeeks.com they have a the tools you need. That sound you are hear is internet explorer trying to open up pop ups. If you haved any questions feel to ask.

That clicking is explorers way of telling you that a page has been opened. as advertisement on web pages are themselves small web pages they will cause the clicking and is probably what you are hearing.

Depends on what you're doing.
Your page could be refreshing, or something on the page could be refreshing. Ads on sites can do that, also many scripts like Football scores on an auto-update timer.

GHOSTS. Just kidding. I think that comes from programs running in the background. That is my hypothesis. My computer does it all the time.
