Close program sound for no reason

[richdave]

My PC makes a sound often for no apparent reason. I have determined it is the default (for my scheme) close program sound...

Any idea why it seems to randomly do this?

Could just be the same sound file for another thing than close sound. You can alter or disable windows sounds.

Just for the heck of it, change your startup sound. Want to make sure this is the same sound as what you're hearing:

Thanks Lemur, I have changed the sound to something else and I will wait and see...

 

[Lemur]

Let us know ...

 

[richdave]

yeah I changed the sound to another and it happens with same frequency... I wonder if it is BOINC and/or Kaspersky ?

Try a clean boot.

If no sounds, the add one thing back at a time. Process of elimination.

Hmmm sorry for the loooong delay

The problem is that BOINC Starts/Stops processes it is running when the PC is idle or in use.
