Hi @Twitch tDF,

System model and revision?

Does the same thing happen with headphones?

Mine does that as well, it does that at seemingly random times even if I restart the computer. At least once a week I hear this noise. It can go on for as little as 3 seconds or go on until I hard reboot. Help!

I managed to reproduce the problem on demand.

This always happens when I put the laptop in sleep mode, then wake it and then click on the volume icon. It usually bings and sometimes, you have to put the laptop into sleep mode and wake it a number of times but in the end, clicking on the volume icon will produce either nothing, or loud static that does not go away until you reboot, or the bing sound will be abnormally loud or abnormally soft.

I suspect that this is a driver issue seeing I didn't have this problem about a year and a half back. It could also be a bad motherboard design flaw but I'm sure a driver update would fix the problem.

Hi @Twitch tDF  the Nahimic Service is a well known Dell irritation and this PUP should be removed. Nahimic malware is categorised as a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP). 

Bernasaurus says: type services in Search, select and right click the app and run as administrator, in services scroll down to Nahimic and right click for properties, change start-up type to disabled, stop the service. Keep an eye on this every time Dell pushes updates, as may be upgraded and enabled again. 

Hi,

There is no such service called Nahimic on my laptop.

The problem remains and it seems to be long outstanding problem which Dell has never fixed.

Anyone else has any other ideas?

This problem also happens if you completely delete all drive partitions and install Windows clean with no updates.
