Post by FarmerPug »

Im a bit confused by the dialing noise this laptop of mine is spontanously making, it sounds like a phone dialing out but im not sure what it is.

Through the speakers?
My desktop does it when I have the speakers turned on sometimes.Its either a phone ringing or a text coming through or something.On my old pc speakers I once had a voice come through them,I think it was a CB or taxi radio or something.
