User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.6; en-US; rv:1.9.1.8) Gecko/20100202 Firefox/3.5.8 GTB6

Weird intermittent sound track played sounds a bit like a racing car engine noise. Lasts about 30 seconds. Closing the browser window ends the track.  Feels a bit like a virus. No harm otherwise. Sorry for sounding like I'm hearing noises in my head:-). Being going on for about a fortnight.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Launch browser window
2.Do lots of browsing on various sites
3.At some point hear the noise



Do not know if this serious. Tried to google for others reporting similar but no luck.
