Beeping sound coming out of left speaker?

Hi,
Need some help please.
Just recently I've been having these strange beeping sounds coming out of my left speaker every so often.It only lasts a few seconds and I've never heard it actually come out while music was playing until tonight.It sounds almost like morse code.I've never had any problems with my stereo setup until now and I've had it for about six years.I'm wondering if anyone has any ideas as to what could be going on? is this a normal occurrence? Thanks!

The first thing you should do is swap around speaker cables. (Hook the left speaker up to the right cable and vice versa)
You need to determine whether its the speaker or something further up stream.
If the sound stays with the speaker then you'll know its the speaker.
If it is not the speaker follow the same procedure with the upstream components until the source of the noise is ascertained.

You do not mention equipment. Tubes? SS? Whats hooked up to the speakers? What type of power conditioning equipment? Does this just happen right when you turn your equipment on?

If its tubes you could be experiencing warm up of a bad tube. If you have equipment that uses a remote this could be a problem with the electronics for the servos that move the volume control and switch the imput.
