RE: [TCLUG:4769] mouse/HDD noise

["Carl Patten" <cpatte@trimodalinc.com>]

Strange, mine does the same thing, but the sound definitely comes from the
modem speaker.  One way to make sure would be to remove the internal modem,
disable the PC speaker, and see if the sound still occurs.

Can't think of any logical reason why the mouse would make a noise in the
hard drives.
