Gary, The sounds you're describing, I've heard also, but they weren't coming from the Speakers they were coming from the monitor. This was especially true with the large Electrohome monitors hooked up to a Targa. That was ok. I could live with that. This is a lot stranger! I unplugged my speakers. That wasn't it. I couldn't pinpoint the source. It was kind of like walking up to something only to see it vanish, except in this case as I approached the computers it would vanish. And the delay for its return was several seconds. Anyway I think its been solved, I had a mircophone (a black one) tucked behind a speaker which I'd forgotten was hooked up to a Soundblaster and while I was looking around the network cables, it dawned on me, that's about the time things started getting strange. I still can't explain the result, but by disconnecting it, I solved the problem. You might check out Don L.'s answer to. Regarding wavelengths and network cableing. At one point I disconnected the network cables and that did solve the problem but of course I had no network. That's when I discovered the microphone. FWIW I've got alot of stuff on my console, so it was easy to overlook. Thanks though, I enjoyed your sound effects. Alot better than the ones I experienced. 🙂 John
