Electric noise in wall

From time to time we hear a clipping type noise in the wall when the computer is on. The odd thing is it's in the wall next to where the outlet is being used.

Anyone have a clue what  can cause that? 

We need to rewire when we can, swing it,  as have aluminum. We unplug everything when not in use.

A few times the circuit trips  at the main & loose all power when too many things are plugged in while using 3 computers. Two have CPU's.  Not a surprise use a CPU in that area.

If you have a net current wiring error, there will be a small
force on the wires when under load.  Unlikely to bend them
but possible.  Arcing would make a sound;  I don't like the
new arc fault protection breakers, but in this case it would
be a way to test if you have arcing.  They are required on
bedroom circuits now for new construction.  If the breaker
trips when you would hear the sound, maybe its arcing.
That can cause a fire.

Sparks from faulty (melted insulation) aluminum wiring? -- the sound of electric sparks?

Why not open the wall and look, before there's a fire?

I think we have some net current. I had 2 electricians here, 1 didn't' come back. It was weird to talk w thier secretary  she told me she no record of him coming.

I think two things, they think ES is weird, & don't want to bother with disconnecting some wiring.

Second, with aluminum, they can't fix much & know thy answer is rewiring.

Yes we have arching, We see a shock every time something is plugged & unplugged. I'm as careful as I can be until we can do something. I can't believe this house passed inspections. I

Its' a random clicking noise in the wall.  It's happened maybe 7 times today. I can hear a hum from the vents when the blowers on.

And missed 2 gas leaks. Makes me wonder if RF is on the gas line.

I'll call another  electrician. I don't' know, hope it's not a spark.
