My Plugin container keeps making a strange noise every 15-25 seconds and won't stop. I've muted the plugin container and it just does it in the background muted. How can I stop this noise?

I've restarted Firefox and even rebooted my pc and upgraded Firefox(it was happening before the upgrade also). The plugin container keeps making a medium volume froglike noise every 15-25 seconds. Even when I restart firefox or the plugin container itself it keeps going to the point of ludicrousy. Please help me to end this pock mark on my firefox.

What plug-ins are you running? Adobe Flash, Silverlight? Have you tried disabling plug-in container?

Instructions to disable plug-in container: Go to "about:config", search for "dom.ipc.plugins.enabled" and double click it to turn its value to False.

It seems it's Flash (version:10.3 and a bunch more numbers, since the add-on manager won't let me copy any data I won't force myself to remember more numbers- I get enough of that at school) that is making the noise, since I disabled everything else and it still made noise.

And yes, you could disable the plugin container, if you never wanted to view anything that requires flash.

EDIT: After checking the relevant sites, it seems that there are no solutions on Adobe or its community.
