Audio Noise when opening new app or webpage Mavericks & Yosemite

[dachness]

I recently started hearing a noise played through audio when a new app or webpage is loaded. It is the kind of noise when your computer turns o and the audio powers up. Just a short tick sound, like amplifier powered up. I would say it occurs every 5-15 minutes would be my guess.

This occurs in both Mavericks and Yosemite. I only started experiencing it after I installed the latest Chimera on Mavericks in preparation for Yosemite.

Running multibeast for Yosemite didn't not address it. My best guess is for some reason audio is going into sleep and then powering back up.

Build:

GA-Z87X-UD5H with ALC898 audio.

i7-4770K
​

GTX 770 4GB
500GB SSD 840 Evo
TP-LINK Wifi

Thank You,

Daniel

Thank you for the response. I had recently switched to iMac from Mac Pro and that did it.
