MBP making weird noises?

[Ravich]

I have heard this "bleep"ish sound twice now in the last 15 minutes. It sounds like it is not coming from the studio monitors that I am using as speakers. It's rather hot right now...


iStat reports this as my temperatures

Where does it come from then? Could it be the fan(s) or the Optical Disc Drive (ODD) checking if a medium i inserted? Could it be the HDD and its SMS?

Go out to youtube and look for a beep that sounds similar.

Similar to the blip in the second link. My MBP is from June 2008.


The beeping sounds to me like it comes from the screen. All I can tell is that it doesnt sound like it's coming from the (external) speakers.
