Powerbook makes strange clicking noise

I apologize if this has come up before, but nothing came up when I searched.



When I type on my powerbook (G4 1.5Ghz 15" combo-drive) sometimes I hear this strange beeping noise. The noise seems to happen every time a character in the text is added or deleted. For instance, if I hold down the 'a' button for a bit like so:



aaaaaaaaaaaa



Every time a new 'a' shows up there will be this sort of low beep noise. This goes for when I type individual characters as well, and I don't notice a difference as I type on different parts of the keyboard. This problem only seems to occur after I've been using my pb for a while, but it is sort of distracting, especially so when music is on. Anyways, if anyone has any ideas about what might be causing this, fire away. Thank you.

    I get exactly the same. Mostly occurs in TextEdit.app. Doesn't bother me though.
