Status: offline 		I'm running vista64, soundmax integrated HD audio on an asus p5k-e mobo with latest driver, 8800gt with latest driver, 4 gig of ram, and q6600 cpu.

When looking at some of the stat screens, specially the list of generals, I hear a rapid ticking noise. It's not always the same cadence, it will usually start slow then speed up and then vary somewhat. If I click over to a different stat screen it will go away for a few seconds and then restart. I never hear it on the map, just the stat screens. I haven't had any crashes, but it makes going through the stats rather annoying until I turn the sound down.

I thought at first it sort of sounded like rapid mouse click noises and turned the mouse click volume in game to 0, but the noise did not stop.

Status: offline 		lol, really?  I mean it's ticking real fast.  I also noticed during the battle reports the sound of the rifles firing sounding like a machine gun.  Should the sound be playing that fast too?

Status: offline 		Production screen I hear hammer on anvil, wood chopping?

I played some of the politicalinfscreen.wav files in the sound directory and they are the sounds I'm hearing in game at the same speed. I guess I wouldn't have expected the telegraph to be so rapid fire so to me it sounded like something going wrong. Do I also hear a typewriter on the leader screen?

Also now that I know it's a telegraph, it sounds more like a telegraph

Status: offline 		actually, it is a bug.....
In leader screen a new background sound thread is started every time you click on a filter button. The net result is a cacophony of tickling and talking after you select 3 or 4 filters

Status: offline 		I was just going to post about it sounding like multiples of the sound playing at the same time after turning up the volume and really listening, I didn't put 2 and 2 together to figure out it's the filters doing it though.  I can confirm the filters add to the sound for me too.
