Computer help: "Start Navigation" clicking sound!!! what's the cause?
"Start Navigation" clicking sound!!! what's the cause?
by edburton6801 - 3/1/07 2:47 PMI know that I can go to sounds to disable the "Start Navigation" sound. But, I don't want to disable it until I know WHY it's clicking for no reason. I understand that when I open a new web page that the sound happens, but why is it happening when I'm away from the PC? If I have all programs closed and I'm just lying in bed, I hear the "click" sound of the "start navigation" sound.
I know HOW to get rid of it. It's an easy fix. But, WHY is it happening? I want to know if there's a bad program on my computer that is trying to access the internet while I'm not using it.
Thanks
Lots of reasons
by jackson dougless - 3/1/07 3:55 PM In reply to: "Start Navigation" clicking sound!!! what's the cause? by edburton6801Probably the most common reason to hear the annoying IE clicking sound is that a page is set to refresh every so often, and each and every time that sound will be played. It could also be malware doing something nefarious.
You must like being under constant threat of malware though, since otherwise you would have switched to Firefox or Opera to get away from that. Can't say as I share in your devil may care attitude, but best of luck to you.
yeah, but...
by edburton6801 - 3/1/07 5:21 PM In reply to: Lots of reasons by jackson douglessI do use firefox! I love it 
This sound happens even when IE is closed and I am using firefox.
I've used spybot, I've used Ad-Aware, I've used Window's Defender... i've cleared my Temp files...
I STILL HEAR FRIGGIN' "Click?" every other minute or so.
I use AT&T Yahoo! DSL... could those programs (Pop-Up blocker, Anti-Spy, Anti-Virus... etc. etc...) could they be the problem? What kind of program or application DOES this???
Thanks for your help so far. Any other ideas?
Navigation sound
by mehmmike - 3/11/07 1:25 PM In reply to: yeah, but... by edburton6801I don't know the exact cause, but it seems to be related to one of the Yahoo features.
Here is a reply to the same question you ask.
http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mail/yahoomail/settings/settings-08.html
Without directly saying it, I think that they are saying it is their fault, and they are working on it. I haven't investigated this too closely, but if you run a packet capture program like etherreal, each clicking sound "seems" to be preceded immediately by a YAHOO_STATUS_AVAILABLE ping message. Again, this is just a guess, and could be coincidence.

Sound is caused by yop.exe
by jim_rose_i - 3/16/07 1:49 PM In reply to: Navigation sound by mehmmikeYOP.exe comes from SBC Yahoo! Online Protection on my system. While I have not installed any of the online protections plugins I still have an icon (triangle + bang) on my tray. I can get rid of the offending sound either by right-clicking the icon, selecting 'Exit', or by bringing up the Windows Task Manager and ending the YOP.exe process. Unfortunately at reboot the process starts up automatically. How do I get rid of YOP.exe more permanently?
hijack this
by litklawr - 3/16/07 2:24 PM In reply to: Sound is caused by yop.exe by jim_rose_ii suggest you use Hijack this.

by Tufenuf - 3/16/07 2:39 PM In reply to: Sound is caused by yop.exe by jim_rose_ijim, To get rid of that sound go to Start>Search and do a File search for *.wav Once the search is complete you could click on each .wav file until you find the one that sounds like the yop then you could delete in and leave it in the Recycle Bin for a while and see if any problems are created by doing that.

Removing 'Start Navigation' sound
by jim_rose_i - 3/16/07 2:57 PM In reply to: Re: Sound is caused by yop.exe by TufenufThat's not really what I want to do; sometimes the 'Start Navigation' sound is a good clue. I just don't want it to be automatically generated by yop.exe So turning off the sound seems to be excessive in this case. Getting rid of yop.exe (which has an /autostart in the registry) is more appropriate.

Don't know if you ever figured this problem out, but I was having a similar problem. Basically, I think that when people are having this problem (as it seems to be rather prevalent) that they have some program, not necessarily malware or spyware, that is searching for updates every few seconds causing the "Start Navigation" sound to trigger. In my case, it was "Marvell Tray," a utility for managing a RAID array. I suggest looking in your tray and disabling the programs one at a time until you find the culprit. If it's nothing in your tray, then I'm not sure what to do. I'm not going to jump on the "scare" bandwagon and say it's mal/ad/spyare, but more likely some other 'bug' in one of your programs.
Marvell Tray
by chad516 - 12/8/08 11:51 PM In reply to: Something In Your Tray by vexuleHow do you get rid of Marvell Tray? I think I have that on my new build and I can't get that sound to stop! I cant seem to see anything called"Marvell Tray" to uninstall though
Marvell Tray Problem
by mritboy2003 - 4/7/09 9:21 PM In reply to: Marvell Tray by chad516I was having the "clicking sound" nightmare as well, and, during the course of my own research, I stumbled across your post. It's over a year old, so I don't know if you are still a member of CNET or not (in which case you'll never read this so it doesn't really matter), but for anyone else who's having this issue...
The problem is that the application "Marvell Tray" starts when you log into Windows, and then proceeds to check for updates about every 10 seconds, causing that oh-so-familiar "clicking" noise. The solution is to turn off the Marvell Tray application and prevent it from starting every time you use the computer.
If you go to Start, then Run, and type in "msconfig," you'll get to the System Configuration Utility. Under the "Startup" tab, you'll see the list of all applications that run when you start Windows (and you'll probably find tons of sneaky little programs that are gunking up you're system!). Simply scroll down to "MarvellTrayStartup" line and de-select it. Apply the change, reboot, and there'll be no more clicking. Judging from what I've read, and from my tech mentor, there is no danger in turning this application off.
Hope this helps someone.
