Hi,

Sounds like a sound in an instant messaging program. Check the system tray
at lower right (by the clock) and either exit the programs, or adjust the
notification preferences in them.

Hi,

Control Panel/Sound/Sounds tab, scroll through the list to see if you can
find what action is causing this sound.
