I have seen this once before when I consulted for a company in Ft lauderdale, florida.
Because of the humidity, over the years the cable casings slowly absorbed moisture, and lost their tension. Then the cables became floppy, and hung down between computer and wall. But then because the cables were so floppy, they would get kinks and this would interrupt the bits streaming in the cables, and they were lucky to get going again and push the other bits up the hill against gravity.

The "bing" sound you hear is the sounds of your bit buffer filling up and it is trying to warn you, "hey stupid.. your cables are full". So you need to get cables with higher capacity and newer, and watch out for humidity or heat in your equipment space.

Also make sure your cables are not kinked when you reinstall them.

God bless.
