why is my computer is making funny noises?

it does not come from the tower and i only hear it when i am running windows neither the mandriva or the ubuntu versions of linux i run off of live cds make this noise, the noise is hard too explain but it got there after i let a so called expert get ahold of it and found my mother board lying on the floor,my ram was missing, in his computer but i got it back together, i’ve ran both Avg and Avira anti viruses as well as malwarebytes anti malware but nothing is being found
and by the way i am not running avira and avg at the same time i got tired of avg not finding anything so i switched to avast and then too avira
ok a bit more info sorry i forgot this it’s like a wierd beeping noise coming from my speakers
