So Quiet Inside, I'm Hearing A Weird Sound

Since my trip to North Carolina, I've started hearing a sound that sounds like: a diskette that is getting copied. You know when we copied those traditional floppy diskettes on our computer, well, I keep hearing that. It used to be all the time, but after a week, its come back. Just wondering if that is normal. Its very faint though.

I hope its not copying my driving pattern, because I hit speeds of 140mph may times on the way to Charlotte NC. I didnt get any tickets. I'm sure if I got caught, it would be jail time in the slammer for the night.

Anyhow, it was the most pleasant trip I've had. Nevada Jack, I remember when you took your car out for a trip, I was just waiting for mine to NC.

Please let me know if anyone is getting those unusual sounds. I'm certain its from the car and not coming from my mind.

The only noise I've ever heard is when I'm choosing a different CD to listen to. Maybe you've got a problem with yours?

...and just because you're paranoid, doesn't mean they're not out to get you.

It doesnt seem so much like its a problem, it sounds as if some sort of computer is doing something. Its hardly audible and I only hear it as I am pulling into the neighborhood at a slow speed.

I was only kidding about the recording of speed. The only paranoia I have, is when I worry if my wife is cooking dinner or not.

I always hear crackling noises in my car. Seems like its always the first 10 minutes when I get in the car then it stops. PRobably because I got so use to it. I think the instrumental panels are not built to the upmost quality, the panels crackle a lot.
