The following is a copy/paste from the Windows 7 forum:
This is exactly what I am experiencing! Right down to the "tee-dunk" tone. Has
anyone figured this out yet? Cheezit hasn't responded since he has gotten a new
mouse.
My story: I updated to Windows 8 from XP when they were offering
the $40 get it now deal. (I was hoping to get the 64bit version, but they
detected that I had the 32bit XP, so that is what Win 8 version they gave me to
download--maybe that is all my system can handle...but, I digress...). Ever
since I installed Window 8, my mouse would do exactly what cheezit said his did.
His is the only exact description I found to my mouse's malady when I researched
what the problem could be. That's why I registered to this Windows 7 forum
instead of the Windows 8 one. (update: I registered in this Windows 8 forum for additional exposure)
I just had my wife read this and she
suggested that my mouse might just be too old and is having conflicts with the
new Windows OS. This seems reasonable. My computer system is ~8 years old.
Any help with this, please?

Not really sure where this goes but....
I am running Windows 7 Home Premium. In the last couple of days, my mouse
pointer momentarily freezes, for no more than a second each time it does it. At
the same time, I hear a "tee-dunk" tone from the speakers. I have looked in Task
Manager at all the processes running and checked them all online to see what
they are. They are all processes that are supposed to be there. I use Microsoft
Security Essentials daily and it hasn't found anything. Outside of being
bothersome, this hasn't caused anything to slow down, so I am at a loss. Any
ideas on what to look for?
Thanks.
