Notification noises

[ValidScreenNaym]

I constantly get a noise that sounds like I'm receiving a notification but despite searching I can find no source for this noise. It is really annoying because when this noise occurs it takes away the primacy of the window I am using, so for instance if I'm typing I then have to stop and click back into that into which I had just been typing.

I've tried turning off notifications, but as far as I can figure out this isn't related to notifications and it hasn't stopped by turning off notifications.

If it's the Notification Sound, then it could be the OS or an App in the background doing something to cause that to occur. Typically you should be able to see a listing in Windows Notifications(it keeps a list; click the icon next to Clock top open notification and click the down arrow to expand and see the notification list). If you can see any unusual notifications, then try disabling them. Could you also open Device manager and check if the list of devices refresh when you hear the noise.

If in case it's a beeping sound then try disabling Sticky Keys, Toggle Keys and Filter Keys and check if the computer is making the sound. The following steps should help you disable Sticky Keys, Toggle Keys and Filter Keys:

1.)  In Windows, search for and open Ease of Access Keyboard settings.

2.) Disable Sticky Keys, Toggle Keys and Filter Keys.

I tried this fix to no avail!! Please offer an alternative suggestion. I teach online and this sound is disruptive.
