I was talking to a neighbor yesterday who said that around the same time my sound problems started he began experiencing random (and very brief) disconnects from the internet. He doesn't have speakers attached to his computer so he can't comment on any sound issues. We're thinking that perhaps...

Tony, Have you played the sound file? Do you think interference could cause that same sound over and over? Also, how would an AM radio help track down the source? Thanks. EDIT: Also, where would the best places be to put the ferrite cores?

It's randomly occurring - as I said, the only possible pattern seems to be that it happens much more frequently when my neighbors are home. Almost exclusively in the daytime. No airport nearby. I've applied ferrite cores on several cords (including the speaker wires). Do you have any...

Just a Unify Ubiquity, but I've had it unplugged for weeks (thinking that might be the cause). Before that, I used a TP-Link - but that's long gone.

We have none in our house (no Amazon Echo, etc) , but I've noticed something strange. Our neighbors have been moving. When they are not around (and this is not a scientific test), the sounds seem to diminish. For example, last weekend their house was being shown by a realtor and I heard little...

The sound had diminished greatly (only a couple times a day) until this morning... then 5 or 6 times in a few minutes. I noticed several of these in my router log: 2017-07-26 08:33:44.00 [Dropped FORWARD packet: ]TCP Packet - Source:2604:8c00:0109:000c:021a:62ff:fe03:c28f,53045...

Yeah, a little like that... sort of like the disconnect sound? Unfortunately, I don't have skype on any of the computers.

I have automatic Win updates disabled and I've used different AV programs. Really frustrating, ugh!

Nothing yesterday or this morning... suddenly 5-6x in 15 minutes. I can't seem to find any other software that the 3 computers share in common.

Thanks for the tip. btw... the sound returned (one time). I just disabled IPv6.

OK, as a starter, I've turned off automatic syncing on dropbox and evernote, deleted onedrive. if/when the sound returns, I will try disabling IPv6... then go from there. Thanks so much to all of you - I've received so much more constructive help here than on most of the other forums I've...

I listened to the sound recording again. So familiar.... I can't believe I've been unable to identify it (or anybody else for that matter). By the way, I've heard no sounds for about 10 hours. The silence is lovely.

One of the computers tested is running Windows 10 64, the others Win 7 64

Yes, I also agree it should be a SW event... but I got the same sound using 3 different computers. The only thing they had in common (as far as I could tell) was their connection to the network. In one case, even the attached hardware is completely different. Also, if it were a SW event, to...

I've had that little D-Link for years. At times, I have manually disconnected it b/c I also thought it might be some sort of network disconnect. That was one reason (aside from added speed) that I switched from DSL to cable. I'm probably wrong but I still think this might have something to do...
