MBA keeps making a camera shutter noise

[tekno]

Three times in about a week, my MacBook Air has made a noise like a camera shutter.

It did it just now whilst I was just browsing these forums. I have Safari, iCal, Mail and Pages running. There are no other Safari windows open or anything.

I'm worried it's some sort of spyware which is using my eyesight camera to photograph me without me knowing?!

Any way of finding out what's going on?

It's almost certainly an ad.
