    Yes, it is actually the Failed to Connect sound.
    I haven't added any new USB device, all devices are apparently working fine.

    The only other thing I can think of is that one USB port or connector is bad and making/breaking contact. If you have extra USB cables, swap them around to see if that helps.

    Did you try a Clean Boot as Saurabh A suggested?

    Hi pieren,

    As suspected by 'Britton30', it could be a deteriorating 'USB port/connector'; did you try isolating any such possibility?

    Apart from a 'clean boot', you may also try the following step:
    - Go to 'Device Manager' > Expand 'USB Controllers' category > Right-click to uninstall all 'USB Root Hubs' one-by-one > Go to 'Action' in 'File Menu' > 'Scan for Hardware Changes' > Functionality of all 'USB Root Hubs' will be restored automatically > Restart the computer and check results.

    Hope this helps.
