Windows 10: Every time I press the button Q on my keyboard. it emits a beeping sound kind of like push...

I don't know what caused it, it started happening this morning and I have tried to fix it, but it refuses to stop making the sound. It may have started though from my push to talk games. If you know how to fix this, please help!

Hearing beeping noise while pressing q button on keyboard

Original Title: Hearing a beeping noise when I press Q

My Q key started emitting a beeping noise in my headphones when I use it, once when I press it and once when I release it (kind of sounds like push-to-talk). Sometimes I will even hear the default windows 'alert noise' in addition to the beeping. I disabled
sticky keys and filter keys to no avail and haven't found anything in my 'ease of access' settings that would cause this. I use my Q key a lot when gaming, sometimes holding it down for 5-10 seconds, so I figure it must have started there.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Intermittent Beeping Sound

I have a very peculiar problem - most likely related to an earlier question about the intermittent beeping sound after applying the Windows 10 updates. This was answered by a Microsoft agent but the original poster did not reply saying that the sounds
"disappeared" after the solution was proposed, so I have no idea whether it worked.

My problem is this: occasionally (and the period between events is completely unknown) my PC would emit a beeping sound through the system speaker. The PC may "freeze" for an instant - i.e., the cursor would not respond at all. I tried troubleshooting the problem
(including the solution proposed by the Microsoft agent) but the sound persisted. I did identify the sound - they were made by the "Device Disconnect" sound under the Windows Default scheme (activated through the Control Panel > Hardware and Sound > Change
System Sound). The file which emits the sound is called 'Windows Hardware Remove.wav' and every time I used the 'Test' button, the familiar sound will play through the PC's system speakers.

What do you suggest I do to get rid of the sound? I find the sound irritating and the occasional freeze of the cursor is affecting the PC games that I play. Please help.
