Microphone static background noise

Loud static noise fades out into a robotic sounding microphone hiss. Sounds almost like a futuristic computer bleeping in the background. Creepy sounding. Recorded with Audacity and a cheap microphone plugged into my Acer laptop. For some reason the mic quality is way worse on the laptop than my desktop PC. If you use this sound anywhere, I would be so excited if you left a comment below saying how you used it! I think it could be used in a horror game.

I was looking for an interesting startup sound for my computer and it ended up being quite perfect!

My only grip would be that at the end of the sound it sounds like I hear a background noise and it kinda takes away from the effect/vibe. I'm no audiophile so maybe I heard wrong but, I'll probably end up editing that sound out and attempting my best to fade it out smooth. It'll be my first try at audio editing, but you gotta start somewhere!!!

Thanks!!!!
