Thank you for saving me from IE7 click hell. I recently updated the work PC to IE7 (business requirement) and when it started clicking, I knew I had to get rid of it. So thank you for taking a few minutes to document this for the rest of us. Greatly appreciated.

Hi,

I don’t want to sound like a smartass, but a simple solution is NOT to use IE. Because it sucks.

One suggestion is turning off your speakers — if you turn off all speakers (turn off external speakers and mute all internal sounds) and you’re still hearing the sound, it may be a system warning, in which case you should get your computer checked out immediately, as it could be something relatively critical.

It’s hard for me to say what this could be, otherwise — but the fact that it didn’t go away when you shut off all sounds is a little alarming.

If the sound does go away after you’ve disabled all speakers, then you’ll need to find what’s making the sound. Disable programs one at a time to find out which program is triggering the sound, etc.

Help !!! I am going NUTS !!! I am computer “illiterate” but I all of a sudden got the “Bloop” sound on my computer…I have run every single scanning agent I have .I have tried doing what was recommended to get rid of the “clicking sound” or to get “no sound at all” NOTHING is working !! I had it once before, ran a complete computer scan and it went away…this time it didn’t…what an annoying sound !! I have IE7…the first time I got the bloop sound was after doing a windows update, I have not done any updates since then, I already have every one available…WHAT CAN I DO to keep my sanity ??

Really nice post..I did find that the obnoxious clicking sound that I experienced bled through into other programs, however: and sometimes just occurred spontaneously, when I wasn’t even doing anything. That’s what really drove me nuts.

As a general rule it is working fine but it’s irritating little glitch.. It does not allow me to change my desktop icons .. It is irritating and keeps blocking the screen when moving the mouse over or near an advertising link…

@Smith, even i liked firefox to the core, Most of the people would prefer firefox more than IE, As you said, IE latest version sucks, MS itself gave an advertisement that don’t use latest version of IE.

Thanks for enjoying the post, Gary. I just imagine this cacophonous cavern filled with Microsoft software testers…all going slowly insane because of the noise…
