Number Lock key

Can anyone tell me why when i depress the number lock key on the laptop it causes a loud sound. That also seems to be why a wireless numberic keypad i purchased doesn't work. when i turn the wireless keypad on it causes the laptop to emmit the loud sounds each time you depress the keys. I tried the new keypad on another identical laptop and it works fine. the other laptop also does NOT emmit the loud sound as mine does. I called tech support, they tried something but turned me over to another support agent who said i would have to pay to have the problem investigated further.
 
Thank you

When did the laptop begin making this sound?  Did it make the sound before you installed the software for your wireless keypad, or did it start after that?
 
If you haven't already checked, make sure you have the newest device drivers installed for all of your hardware.

I never use the number lock key. I did accidentally bump it prior to trying to use the new keypad and it did make the loud sound. Also i'm not sure i have the newest device drivers installed. I would assume the technician the other day on the phone that tried to help would have made sure of that.
