Weird sounds every few seconds (Acer Aspire 5672wlmi)

Hi everyone,

This annoyance has been around since I bought this laptop, but it's really getting on my nerves now.

What it is is basically a high pitched series of 7 blips with 3 seconds between them. I believe it's the hard drive interfering with the integrated sound, but I can't be sure- although I hear the same thing through my amp (albeit amplified and distorted) when I put my guitar's pickups near the laptop. I'm attaching a small sample of the sound, amplified to play at a regular level so you can hear what I'm talking about.

Any ideas?
