Hey man, thanks a lot! I was in your same spot, fast typing on Word with my headphones one, and from time to time being stung by that loud “beep”.

Thank you for a good summary, with references.

Thanks! With a 678 area code this was really annoying!
I think I will forever expect that beep though.

I know this is an old post, but thank you so much for the info. The beep’s been driving me crazy and I finally had the sense to Google the problem and found this. I can’t tell you how grateful I am that I won’t jump out of my skin when typing fast any more. :)

I feel like my eyes popped and brain rebooted. That effin’ beep… had my good Bose headphones on and everything. You, sir, are a godsend! Well, a Google-send, but I’m not convinced there’s a difference. Thanks Simon!

I’m a 3d modeler and this beep plagued me for the past three months at my new job. It would happen when I use 3d max, and after the beep it acted as if ctrl or shift was held down, really annoying (which might be another problem…stickykeys?)

but anyway, I can finally stop listening to that deafening beep!

THANK YOU! That beep is so loud when you have your headphones on. It has startled me for the last time though! Thank you for posting this. My coworkers are going to love me, as we all have Thinkpads.
