When I type on my X60s and almost simultaneously press keys "Y", "U" and any other in the their upper row (as in "you" when typed really fast), the computer suddenly emits a deep loud beep.

The same happens with keys "J"+"K'", and "N" + "M" plus any other key in their respective rows.

Is it normal?

I took the machine in for inspection, and they smartly advised me to mute it while typing.

However, they did check hardware and even replaced the keyboard -- just to confirm that the beep occurs on another keyboard as well.

Just curious if this occurs on your X60s as well. It would be nice to be able to disable it in some way other than muting the system.
