Does anyone know why this is doing this?

whenever I go to this website,  a bunch of shooting sounds occur and also sounds like electrical zaps?? At first I thought it was from an ad but it is happening each time I go there. Here is the thing, I had been having a previous problem not being able to open certain weblinks, and ended the dell tech had me disbale NAV. Then he was UNABLE to help me re-enable it and told me I had to contact Norton tech which I did and whatever they did ended up corrupting my OS so dell tech had me reinstall Win XP and needless to say I refused to install NAV on my system and purchased Mcafee and so far everything is fine with it and I have all my Windows updates and Mcafee updates and adaware installed. Before all this, I never got these wierd sounds (as I said, it sounds like someone firing bullets at me, and then it is like electrical shock sounds...I know....really weird!!) Does anyone know if it is something to do with this particular website, Has anyone else experienced this if they log on there?

    Ok, i went to the site, but everything seems to be fine.  I don't hear a thing.  are the sounds coming from your speakers or your computer? I too have the same problem with norton.  Currently, I do have problems getting on to certain sites.  I assumed that it would be norton, so thanks for verifying.  If you had the same problem, chances are that I will too.  Now with your problem...have you ever had this problem before?  Is this problem only occuring when ou visit this specific site or are there others?  If has happened with other sites, and the sound is coming from your speakers, then you either have blown out speakers or your soundcard is messed up.  Could be software related or hardware.  Run your dell diagnostic cd and run a full test on your entire systems hardware.  tell me what it says...

    It's entirely possible that it's your pop up blocker creating the noises, shooting down the ads per se. That particular website does have pop up advertisements for companies like classmates.com, etc. Check your settings for each of the new applications the computer guys installed and see if there's a place where you can select disable audio or sound effects when blocking popups. And definately run the Dell Diagnostics on your system, you can choose to run a symptom tree test on "abnormal sound coming from my computer" and see if the sound happens then.
