the MoBo (maybe emulated)?
Is it a sound created by the system or is is the emulated
Windows newer than XP doesn't support using the system speaker (or the
emulated variant) anymore, but Linux can still use it.
Maybe it is also created by the BIOS. I know that some desktop
motherboards beep when the CPU is hot, maybe check its temperature.
Everyy 20 *minutes*? That probably rules out a "beep code", where various >> patterns of long and short beeps signal some error condition.
That sounds like a signal from the power management indicating there is
an issue with battery... as in there is no battery detected?

That was my immediate thought too.
Without a model number there's no real way to confirm that.

said yesterday when it was happening it even beeped when the laptop was powered down and the mains switched off!
Anyway thank you all for your responses, as It appears to have fixed
itself for now, I shall post no more on the subject.

Do post, though, when he changes the battery in his smoke alarm.

If it happens again, ask him to take the laptop into another room, and
to see if the noise moves with it, or stays in the original room!
