Windows 98 2nd ed
internet explorer 6.0
date problem started 08-26-03
a sound of a single drip of water sounds over the speakers now when I load a web page. I have only noticed the sound while I am online, so far I have not heard water drip while running any programs offline.
Has anyone heard of this, and better yet know what is causing it, and how to repair.
Thanks

Does this only happen when you load one particular web page or website? If so then then the "water drip" sound could just be an embedded sound in the source code of the webpage that gets triggered when the page loads.
Also, depending on what kind of desktop theme you may have will change your default sounds to whatever came with that theme.

the sound of the water drip happens with every web page that I open, and I do not run any desktop themes. I have checked the few places that I cound think of (which is not very many) in different settings for sounds, and I can not find any changes from defult.

In the control panel under sounds, have you played each individual sound to see if one of them was the water drip?

do you have a program like cookie patrol or cookie crusher , if so they sounds in them to tell when a cookie is being rejected ,if you do you should be able to shut off sounds in there preferences ,this would account for hearing the noise only when you open web sites .

I hear the same noise. I do have the Google toolbar installed and the noise it makes when blocking pop-ups is different. I have even uninstalled it and the drip noise is still there. It happens on most websites. I've sampled every sound in the control panel and none of them are the same.

Try searching your entire hard drive(s) for all sound files (.wav , .mp3 etc.) and try everyting you find tilyou locate your noise. at least then you'll be able to tell where it is on the disk and that should help us all find a way to get rid of it.......

Maybe it is a virus emulating Chinese water torture 
(Do I mean Chinese water torture or is that the one where they hang you upside down in a pool of water?)
Anyway that one where they torture/brain wash you by tying you to a chair in a room with a dripping tap for hours and hours.
