There are probably easier ways to diagnose your problem, but for now try
this: Use the Search function of Windows XP to generate a complete list of
all your .wav files. Now play them all until you find the sound that you are
hearing. Examine that .wav file and try to determine which program it's
associated with. (You'll be able to eliminate some .wav files from
contention strictly by their name.)
