It could still be a hardware problem with the speaker itself. Is the
duration of the sound always the same or does it vary?

You might also want to run lsof in some kind of a loop and see if you can find
the file that it's loading, if indeed that's the problem.

You can always go to /usr/share/sounds and play all that is there to find
if any match.


Played all of them in 5 sec intervals.
It's none of them

When I mute the speakers,
the sound disappears.

Open a terminal and run this command as root:

tail -f /var/log/messages

and see if anything pops up there at about the same time as the sound.
If not, try this as yourself:


tail -f ~/.xsession-errors

to see if it's associated with some sort of problem. (BTW, do you get
this sound if you boot into what used to be runlevel 3? If so, you can
ignore this last suggestion.)

At this point I am willing to try all good suggestions,
your included.

Thanx,

2 ideas.....

1. Create a new user and login as that user. This should eliminate a per user setting.

2. Boot a LiveCD....using the spin of the DE you are using.

If it's an electrical problem that causes the speakers to crackle, i.e.
hardware, muting the speakers could also make the sound go away.

So you haven't eliminated hardware as the issue yet.

Sound very reasonable. Will go for it in a couple of days.

Thanx Ed.

It is not crackling sound at all.
It is indeed very much an audio file sound.
If the speakers were crackling, they would crackle
when I play any multimedia, which is not the case.
