Clicking Sound Coming From Computer When I Scrolling

I've been having a problem with my mouse now for quite some time. When I am on any webpage, when I use my scroll wheel on my mouse, I am hearing a strange clicking sound coming from my actual computer tower.. It is NOT coming from my speakers. I updated all of my drivers and everything..

I am using the Microsoft USB INTELLI MOUSE ( OPTICAL )

 

There's a speaker in the tower in the front. It's the one that gives the beep codes when the computer boots or fails to boot. (POSTS)

Some scroll wheels are designed to use speaker that to give tactile feedback the same way you get a click from a keyboard key or a click from the mouse buttons. You didn't say exactly what model of mouse you have but you might check because some mice of that brand do that. If it doesn't, then you must have some electrical feedback through the system board.

Low batteries can cause a wireless to make noises, but again you didn't say for sure - wired or wireless usb...

If you have too many usb devices drawing power you can get noises. The cure is a powered (AC power) usb hub. Max is 500 milliamps power draw from all attached devices. In device manager, usb root hub, if you poke around you can find the list of attached devices and how much they are drawing.

I'd do a little research on your model of mouse and see if that click is intentional.
