FC16. What is the daemon that plays a sound, seemingly at random, and it sounds like a rattle ?
I have heard this while running previous versions of fedora.
I'm fairly sure it is DE dependent. One can make KDE quite noisy by going to "System Settings-->Common appearance and Behavior-->Application and System Notifications". Applications such as T-Bird have their own settings.... My cat managed to enable that, in the middle of the night, and it took a while to track down the "random beeps".
