LOL. It may be a "cricket". These are little programs that sneak into computers past the security programs and make the computer do little noises. I planted one in my bosses one time and it drove him nuts.
Its "them", you know who I mean right? Y'know the ones that "they" say never existed. If it gets louder or faster, you'd better ditch that thing. Shutting it off won't help you any. When it gets to be a low monotone ,RUN !!
if it's coming from the speaker you may be able to solve the problem by downloading a new driver for the speakers. If it's an internal click, the problems is most likely to be hardware thing. I'd download a new driver first, hardware problems are a pain to identify
You computer might be overheating. Do you blow the dust out of it regularly?
Is the blip sound from an internal speaker or does it sound mechanical? It could be a fan or there could be a much bigger issue.
Smart Meters send their data to the power company via a signal about 10 times as powerful as a cell phone. I'd bet that's your problem. Try moving your computer or if you want to tick off the power company, put a Faraday Cage around the meter. lol

PS - Why do people pick on paranoids?
