Studio 17 I-7 Tapping Sound when web surfing

by pleasant44 Nov 11, 2010 11:05PM PST

Am having an annoying tapping sound whenever I navigate from one site to another. Sounds like a slight tap of a tin cup. Ran system diagnostics and all is fine. Does not occur when opening docs on word, excel. etc. Before going to Dell Software Support, thought I would run this by the forum. Only had the system for 4 months and agree with other owners; the fan runs more often then not. Thanks

For a test.

Mute the speakers and see if this is the usual IE navigation click.

Tapping sound issue

Yes, indeed. That silenced it...... is there an adjustment in IE that I need to adjust or just keep the speaker on Mute? Thanks for the clue

Thanks for trying the simple (?) test.

How do I silence Internet Explorer's Navigation Click?
