its not the computer, not a smoke alarm thing, and there is nothing in here that should be making beep or bip noises.

it does it at intervals of about 5 minutes.

any guesses/suggestions? its really annoying.

Donna, you appear to have stolen my cell phone. Sprint PCS will be contacting you shortly to estimate the damages.

Really, I encourage you all to enlistin the military, and request the intelligence career field. You will receive training beyong par which will prepare you for all certainties and uncertainties that occur in the field of random bips, boops, and whatnots.

A mouse is tapping into your electricity supply, probably to power it's TV.

An IDM musician who has smoked too much dope? An elf?

its probably a smoke alarm somewhere else in your building that you hear as if its coming from the corner

There was an infamous geeky message board posting which said:-

"I've lost a machine. No, you don't understand. It responds to ping I just can't find it in my room".

is it for sure an electronic bip? because maybe it's a leak in your roof.

This was happening to me a few months ago. The cat seemed to think it was some kind've big hidden insect behind the peeling paint on the ceiling making that big bright "chirp", and I think he was right.

It could be the smoke alarm telling you it needs new batteries.

it's a glitch in the matrix, THERE IS NO 'BIP'

but you still don't know what it is, do you, mr. Hand?
