I just noticed that when I close the lid on a T40 with Windows XP, I get a loud tone (like the tone you get when you have the microphone too close to the speakers on a stereo system).

The tone can be turned off by muting the speakers under Windows XP.

Does anyone know what is causing this behaviour?

it's the thinkpad's way of telling you you just closed it

I should have said a loud, continuous tone. I wasn't aware that closing the lid would cause any noise being generated by the computer so I don't think this is normal behaviour. Oh well ...

You can disable that tone.

Go to Control Panel, Power Options, Beeps/Alarms, and then you can disable "lid close action beep".
