Question Constant 3 note reconnection sound after new Windows Install

[eco_bach]

After latest Windows update which hung my system I was forced to do a format and reinstall of Windows 10.
After installing using external USB and applying all updates I am getting a constant (every couple seconds) 3 note reconnection tone.
Annoying!
I tried disconnecting ALL external usb devices and dongles. Still same.
Also went into Settings>USB and disabled
'Notify me if there are issues connecting to USB devices'
I am not getting any desktop notifications of any error, just the sound.
After checking the Microsoft site I also tried doing a clean reboot. Same issue.
I've never experienced this before and my PC has worked fine for a couple years. The only thing I've done is a format of my old C drive partition and a clean install of Windows. Possibly hardware related but why after only a software install?
Please help. Driving me crazy!

Update your post to include full system hardware specs and OS information.

Include PSU: make, model, wattage, age, condition (original to build, new, refurbished, used)?

Disk drive(s): make, model, capacity, how full?

List all attached peripherals.

Wired or wireless network?

= = = =

Look in Reliability History/Monitor and Event Viewer.

Either one or both tools may be logging some error code, warning, or even and informational event just before or at the time of the reconnection sounds.

You can also use Device Manager to check installed devices. Select a device and then Properties. Especially for any devices that are flagged with a warning.

When/where applicable there will be an Events tab. Look for a device that has a long list of actions - that could be a tedious process unless there is a flag somewhere.

Device mgr>human intf devices.
Look through the properties of each entry for a power turn off option and disable that.

Do the same for usb controllers
