That is appears to be a legitmate product aimed at parents to keep
track and secure what of what their kids are doing. It's not malware
and it doesn't even work on iOS devices (yet? It will need to get
through Apple's approval process before it does).

Unless you've specifically installed something from an unknown / dodgey
source website, which is basically impossible since you haven't
jailbroken the iPad, then there is even less malware for iOS devices
than there is for Mac OS (which is basically none anyway).

I don't know. Best to ask in the "comp.mobile.ipad" newsgroup or
Apple's support website to see if anyone has has the same sound, but it
is not any kind of malware. Most likely it's just you or the cover
pushing one of the buttons accidently.
