I think somehow you or the machine has managed to select the option to enable numerical keys. My laptop keyboard has a red ‘fn’ (function) key which in combination with one of the top row of F keys can be used to toggle different functions hence if I press ‘fn and the ‘ins’(ert) key simultaneously, I will get precisely the result you describe.

As for the strange ‘dut’ noises, perhaps the little man inside was having a bit of a hissy fit about the weather or the FAA and hitting his head against the wall. Could you hear any ‘Dohs’ or ‘dummkopfs’ emanating form within while it was happening?
