Question Sporadic beeping sounds ?

Motherboard: ASUS Sabertooth P67
CPU: Intel i7-2600k
GPU: GTX 970

When gaming or similar, my PC tends to make these sporadic beeping sounds. During normal use (like using a internet browser) it makes a similar beeping sound, but at lower volume and only one beep at two sec intervals.

Any ideas what can cause it?

https://www.computerhope.com/beep.htm and similar tables really doesn't help me a lot.

Sounds musical to me. Almost Morse code like....

My thought is something running in the background.

Open Task Manager and take a look at what all is being launched at startup. Look for anything unknown or unexpected. Research/Google accordingly.

Likewise look in Resource Monitor and Process Explorer (Microsoft, free) for any unknown or unexpected processes that may be running.

Process Explorer

Also, if the sporadic beeping does not start immediately, look in Task Scheduler. There may be some app/process being triggered therein.

Do not immediately start deleting things. Try disabling first and only do one thing at a time.

First objective is to discover the root cause of the beeping.
