Annoying sound when new page opens

[Guest]

When I move from one web page to another there is an annoying beep that
sounds every time the new page has loaded. It sound a bit like a pop up is
being blocked but it is not that, and it happens for every page.

Please can someone help me get this to go away.

Thanks

Rich

Were you able to resolve your issue? I am having the same problem - sounds
liek a fog horn. I checked everything you were told but it didn't stop so I
wanted to check with you. Thanks

Go to Start...Settings...Control Panel...Sounds...Sounds tab. Select the
"No Sounds" scheme at the top, click Apply. (You may be prompted to save
your current sounds setup if you haven't already.)

If that solved the issue, then one of the sound settings there is causing
the issue and you'll have to test each one.

If that doesn't solve your problem......

This may be caused by spyware/malware that's gotten installed on
your system. Use Ad-Aware, Windows Defender and/or Spybot Search & Destroy
to remove it.

Windows Defender (beta)

Ad-Aware: http://www.lavasoftusa.com/
Spybot: http://www.safer-networking.org/en/index.html
Good sites on how to install and use Spybot -

Also download a winsock repair tool, to have just in case cleaning up
anything found breaks it -

Winsock repair tools:
LSPFix- all versions of Windows http://www.cexx.org/lspfix.zip
Winsock2 Fix- Win98, ME

If no joy, in IE go to Tools...Internet Options...Advanced tab, Browsing
section, uncheck "Enable third-party browser extensions", click Apply, click
Okay, reboot. If that solves your problem, then more troubleshooting is
needed to find out exactly which program, or Browser Helper Object (BHO) is
causing this problem. You don't want to leave it at that, as some BHOs are
useful or necessary - like Adobe Acrobat for reading .pdf files or an
essential component of Norton AV. Get BHODemon -
http://www.definitivesolutions.com/bhodemon.htm - read all about BHOs.
Disable all items, and then gradually replace one or two at a time to narrow
down the culprit.

Or if you have IE 6 SP-2 you can do this within the browser:

If all the above fails, then the problem could be something new that the
spyware cleaners above don't have in their databases yet. In that case....

I found the answer on my computer. Thanks to Jon Kennedy. The answer was
the Windows Explorer > Start Navigation sound on my Sounds tab. I went
through each setting until I found the answer, as he suggested. Oh, that's
made my streaming music sooooo much more pleasant. Thanks Jon.
