[QUOTE="pm-r, post: 1706432, member: 175845"] Glad to hear you discovered the cause of the beep problem and thanks for the feedback, but I'd question the diagnosis that is was giving you some warning because your Time Machine backups had almost filled it. It was giving you that beep sound only because it had almost died and was malfunctioning!!! Just do a google search for '[I]Seagate hard drive beep[/I]' etc. and you'll get all kinds of hits. And basically, it's the noise of a failing drive and it seems the Seagates are good at it. And I'd suggest that [B]Seagate HDD[/B] is close to being or as good as being [B]KAPUT[/B]!!! That's also why I was asking if the sound you mentioned was actually coming from your Mac and/or associated with its sound settings. [/QUOTE]
