Every 5 or 10 seconds, I hear a sound like a click. It is very similar to the sound when you double-click a folder in Windows 7 (but the sound I hear is from inside the laptop, not the from speakers).<BR />This sound seems to come from the right part, under the numeric keys.<BR /><BR />What can it be?<BR /><BR />Thank you!<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Fri, 18 Jun 2010 16:13:36 GMT https://community.sony.ua/t5/pcs-accessories/clicking-sound/m-p/21525#M48729 sebi2010 2010-06-18T16:13:36Z Re: clicking sound https://community.sony.ua/t5/pcs-accessories/clicking-sound/m-p/21526#M48730 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>It's the sound of the hard-drive.
