I keep getting background chime in sets of three about every 5-10 mins. At first I thought it was because of the windows defender notification, but after I took care of that, it still kept happening. I ran a scan with defender and malwarebytes to see if the machine was infected and they found nothing. Now i'm at a loss. What could it be?

Was watching a show and eating breakfast, if I hit the keys, I sure didn't notice.

make sure all your browsers and other apps are closed.  It may not be this issue, but I thought my system had a similar issue and found out I had my Jabber Messenger still on in the task tray with audible alerts running. :$

The only thing I had open was chrome, so I suspect thats whats causing the issue. Everything else is closed. I need to see if I could reproduce the issue in chrome.
