  1. I keep hearing a chime sound at certain intervals


    I've tried running DISM and sfc /scannow to check for corruption but everything is fine.

    I've also tried disabling notification sounds in case the sound is coming from an application but it didn't work.

    I've tried troubleshooting the Playing Audio but there was no issues either.

    I've checked Device Manager for any hardware issues but everything seems fine.

    I can't for the life of me figure out where the chime is coming from.

    :)

    What is this chime sound that keeps playing at random intervals?

    There is a chiming sound that plays at random intervals on my computer and I cannot figure out for the life of me where it is coming from. Anyone know the origin of this sound?

    edit: Apologies for the poor sound quality. Recorded the sound on my phone through my speakers.

    edit: Here is a screenshot of my Task Manager

  3. Chiming type sound.

    I am using Windows 10 (on an HP Stream.), and every so often I hear this chiming sound. This only occurs when I am using Microsoft Edge.

    I did go to Control Panel | Sound, and on the Sounds tab, go to each Program

    Event in turn and click the Test button to listen to it. A few things make the sound I hear.

    Any clues as to what this is, and how I can disable it?

    chime

    Please try this, open Device Manager and leave it open where you can see it. When you hear the chime, does the list of devices in device manager refresh (flicker)?

    What is this chime noise I keep hearing randomly on my computer.: A day or two ago the below chime started going off seemingly randomly (about every 20-100 minutes). I don't recall ever hearing it before and can't figure out where it is from. I've got a mute extension on my browser so it's unlikely it's some hidden browser tab or something...
