I8200 beeps

I just got an inspiron 8200 a few weeks ago. Whenever the machine is on, I hear a series of six, high-pitched beeps that are regularly spaced, about every three to four seconds. The beeps can be heard both through the speakers and on headphones. They occur at all volume levels.

Has anyone else experienced this on theirs? This issue is extremely annoying to me, and I think that it is completely unacceptable for something like this to happen.

    Mine does not do that. If you don't get it resolved in the next week or so, contact Dell, send your system back, and order a new one.

    How loud are these "beeps"? Does it sound like a cricket? Try disabling the IR device in BIOS and see if the "beeps" go away.

    I had turned on the IR device a while ago to try to get my CLIE to sync, but I couldn't get it to work. I turned it off in the BIOS and after a reboot the noise has gone away. Thanks for all of your help.
