This may be of help for diagnosing those hearing 'strange' noises from their computers:

That link is definitely broken now

Here's the cashed link......but any links there also go to a 403 Forbidden page.

The service was posted at Slashdot

This page has received more than a million hits in one single day. We had to remove it as a temporary measure.
Please come back later.

But Stoner the cached link works.

Morning Hewee

The cashed link I put up originally went to the list of sounds, but those links were broken.

I see it now goes to an explanation of why they're having trouble.

Maybe in a couple days the original link will go back to those sounds.
I did get to listen to several of them

The link seems to be working for now:
