Larry of the Lawn Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 My laptop is making weird gurgling noises, and sometimes a noise that sounds half way between a wren's chitter-chatter and something caught in a fan blade. Then it goes back to gurgling, kind of like a bong or a fountain. Any techies want to weigh on this? It seems to be functioning just fine but I'm worried it's trying to tell me something. Are there any animals that are known to make a nest inside laptops? And what kind of liquids would they be storing inside of it? I asked my neighbor and he said it's probably low on gas, but even I know that can't be right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fez Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 Sounds like your computer's hamsters may be getting tired out. I recommend finding a replacement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fragile Bird Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 I see the internet claims it comes from overheating. Do you play a lot of games? That cause more heat. I see a laptop cooler pad or fan is the suggested fix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weeping Sore Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 Your computer is probably thirsty. I'd recommend pouring in a glass of its preferred alchoholic beverage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkhangel Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 Have you considered that your laptop has acquired sentience and is trying to communicate with you in your language? On the face of it, chittering interspersed with gurgling is a fair approximation of human speech. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.H. Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 There certainly could be one, or both, of those in you computer. However, the chances that it is functioning with either in there is quite low. I would just take the bottom off. You should be able to see what is going on, or at least get a better idea where the sound is coming from.

SkynJay Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 Is it actually on your lap? Maybe its your own stomach. Remember to eat when binging on Warcraft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AverageGuy Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 I asked my neighbor and he said it's probably low on gas, but even I know that can't be right. That's just silly. Everyone knows computers run on diesel. Kerosene can do in a pinch, but then you have to mess with the carburetor. Gas is just going to make the thing explode.

Nas! Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 If I don't know what "something" it is caught in the fan blade, Larry, I can't really stand behind my diagnosis. Sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biglose Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 Since the only moving part on a laptop happens to be the fan, most unusal sunds kind of have to do with that part. (Unless somebody is fucking with you and the sounds are player by intention).Most of the time the fan is "off balance" not running as it should which can produce the strangest of sounds. Carefully open and clean it might do the trick.If you go on with a damaged fan you risk overheating! Well, the only animals I know of used to be bugs in the ancient time..Hence the name for malfunctions. But honestly if you managed that with a laptop you are the ramsay of laptopowners.

Prue Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 You obviously loaded most of your data to only one half of the harddisk, so it can't spin evenly. Uninstall everything and make sure to spread the MB evenly when re-installing. *nods sagely* ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
