I was wondering if anyone knew where this sound is coming from because I hear every so often while on my pc and it's very annoying. I looked through the sounds and didn't find a match there, I downloaded USBDeview to see if any usb devices were disconnecting and reconnecting and found nothing.

Hi, welcome to the forums.

Right click on the Speaker icon (bottom/right tray or notification area) and click on Open Volume Mixer. See if you can determine where the sound is coming from by watching the volume levels as the sound plays.

To me, it sounds like some type of message or notification. If you can think of any background software that may receive message or send notifications to you, then try closing those programs and see if you can determine which one it is.

sees Gardenman and wonders if answer is raccoons

another way to track it is clean boot and slowly reintroduce the programs you run at start up to see if you can find cause

Try a clean boot and see if it changes anything - make sure to read instructions and make sure NOT to disable any microsoft services or windows won't load right - https://support.microsoft.com/en-au/help/929135/how-to-perform-a-clean-boot-in-windows

if clean boot fixes it, it shows its likely a startup program. You should, over a number of startups. restart the programs you stopped to isolate the one that is to blame.

Hey, so I was recording the volume mixer to see if any of the applications I was using was causing it, and when I heard the sound, I checked the recording and it was coming from Google Chrome. Not sure why google chrome is causing it, but thanks for helping me narrow down the problem!

Possibly a "Steam Inventory Helper" add on.
