starting to regret in buying a Levono PC; "Gurlging sound"

Okay it appears my new levono computer is making what sounds like a gurgling sound or like a fish tank sound.

Its not a huge issue, but sightly ignoring.

Videos still play okay on the computer, youtube and such. But if Im just on the web, I keep hearing a gurgling sound.

Anyone else with experience of this.

It is known since about 3 years that the electronic components of a PC make typical noises depending on what they are doing. Israeli scientists have built an analyzer that can deliver a pretty good guess from the sound of your PC what it is doing right now.

I've heard weird gurgling sounds coming from my stereo system when the digital toslink cable goes bad.

So, that's either your hard drive or one of the cooling fans.

Repairs entail opening the unit.

How old is this thing? The older, in terms of a few years, the easier to open and repair.

What is the model number?

said it can't be remote diagnosed. You can ask the manufacturer about the sound or call in a tech to listen to it.

Question: Are you using external speakers? If so, check to see if the dongle that plugs into the computer is pushed all the way in.

Suggestion: Go to the Lenovo site, look up the model of your computer and see if there is downloadable software for your sound card. Could be that the sound card needs upgraded drivers n stuff.
