Default Computer making random noise

First off, I know for a fact it is coming from the speakers. I have just heard it twice. It sounds like a low-pitched, electronic voice saying "Ah." extremely quickly, but repeating the noise twice in a row very fast. Does anybody have any idea what this could be? I just scanned my computer with both McAfee Anti-Virus and SpySweeper at about 7:30 this morning, and all that was found was a malicious cookie. Does anybody have any idea what this could be, and do you think it sounds like a malware issue?

Hi,

I have Skype, and it was running at the time. I have never known it to make any noises like that before though.

It might have been someone on the other end playing funny buggers.

If it happens again, see if there's any activity from other people...

I'm almost sure this has nothing to do with your problem but you never know
Usually when something like a cell phone recieves a text message etc my speakers will "crackle", only for 1 or 2 seconds.
