Windows 10: Chiming noise on my desktop running windows 10

When I log off my desktop computer that is running Windows 10, it will keep making a chiming noise like one you would here when you plug a cell phone in to charge. It is like it is warning me of something, but there is nothing open.

Sound Chiming on My Laptop - Windows 10

My laptop keeps making a chiming noise every 3-4 min. and sometimes less. I looked it up under "Sounds" and it was the "ringtone" for "Close Program". But, even when google chrome is open or when there are no programs running the noise still chimes. I have
no idea what to do, or how to stop it. Can someone help?

The laptop is a Sony Vaio and i installed Windows 10.

 

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK
