I have a Windows 11 PC that has been working well for a few months, but recently it has begun producing a faint sound (a brief blip) every few seconds. Also, when checking Device Manager, all devices appear listed and the list refreshes regularly, though the timing seems inconsistent with the noise. I’ve heard this could signal a device disconnection. Anyone have ideas on how to investigate further and find the cause?

It might be a USB device issue...

Thank you for your assistance. The updates indicate everything was calm this morning, but I started the USBLogView tool and left it running. Eventually, the sound activated and the log displayed a device connecting and disconnecting multiple times. It seemed to be linked to Drive H, which is typically used when inserting a USB stick into the front of my PC. This appears to be the source of the issue. I will inspect the internal connection and, if necessary, replace the panel. Appreciate your support!
