Why is your computer making the usb recognition noise at random times?

Depending on what you have plugged in, and what type of computer you have, the USB ports in your computer can "go to sleep", causing the recognition noise to sound as the ports go to sleep. For example, if you have a laptop and the battery gets too low, it will shut off some USB ports, and if you have a device or USB drive plugged in at the time, it will act as if you unplugged it from the computer, causing the noise to sound. The sound may also occur when devices turn themselves off. For instance, many computer printers like to stay off when they are not being used. The PC can wake them up when necessary, and when they turn off, Windows detects this, just as if they were unplugged from the computer.
