My pc keeps making a strange bloop noise every minute or so
It comes randomly. A more precise description would be a 3 note soundCan you record the noise and post it for us to hear?
Yeah thats what came to my mind.. possibly a USB device of some type or a port losing its connection and then getting it back randomly..causing that do-do-do noise.Is it the usb connect/disconnect sound?
Yes I guess it isIs it the usb connect/disconnect sound?
Are you saying it is or is that a question?Yes I guess it is
That's it. Thanks. I guess when certain things are starting & stopping, it means they are about to die all together? All I have plugged in is keyboard, mouse & webcamAre you saying it is or is that a question?
Listen to the first part of this video.
Is it that sound? Thats the usb sound.
But as Darren said, it could also be certain hardware devices causing that. Could be failing on driver installation.
I can't find the tool he mentionsAre you saying it is or is that a question?

Since my mouse is the one that came with the pc & my keyboard & webcam are newer, I unplugged it for about 10 minutes to see if the sound happened while it was unplugged and it didn't. But it hasn't happened since I plugged it back in either. Could it have just needed a sort of a reset?
I do have Windows 10 but I've never gotten a pop up about any of the USB devices starting or stopping. I bought a new wired mouse. So far, so good. But even with it, I had to unplug it & plug it back in to get it to start workingYes, sometimes simply unplugging and plugging back in can solve any slight disconnection problems. If the problem keeps occurring, your best bet would be to do as you did (unplug each USB and wait to see if the sound comes back). As @Darren said, make sure you keep an eye on the bottom right of your monitor (notification center) where you hear the sound, it should give you a pop up telling you what unplugged; assuming you have Win 10.

Yes. Not a peep out of my pc since I got the new mouseStrange. It could be that it's disconnecting and connected back so fast it doesn't recognize it. So the new mouse has stopped the problem so far?
Great!!Yes. Not a peep out of my pc since I got the new mouse
