help with this loud 'beep'

[jlm]

I'm using windows xp pro have been many years. about a week ago I
started getting this loud beep through the speakers every time I try
to delete some thing and other times. when I try to delete a file the
windows pop-up comes up and asked if I want to delete this file and
send it to the delete file (yes, no) as I hit yes a loud beep comes
up. this is new I've not changed anything to my knowledge.

thanks for any help you could give.

Opens Sounds and Audio in the Control Panel. The sound associated with
deleting a file can be set to none.

Rightclick the Recycle Bin icon, and set the Properties to what you want.
