Windows 11 24H2.

My computer keeps making a notification noise that I have never heard before. This seemingly happens at random, sometimes its 30 minutes between noises, sometimes its 10 seconds. I have no notifications in my notifications tray, the sound does not match any standard windows sounds. I have used Process Monitor to try to find the source of the noise but have not managed to locate it.

The sound in question: Vocaroo | Online voice recorder

It's about what it does and what it's used for.

Pff took me a few hours to remember where the sound was from. It's from the Steam app.

Hello, I don't mean to necro this but I was wondering if there was an actual solution? I've had this noise on my pc for a few months now. Some days it plays 10 times, others not at all. It comes randomly, in waves or just every 30 mins. I've looked all over and this is the first place I've seen that actually has this same sound.
Pff took me a few hours to remember where the sound was from. It's from the Steam app.
So if I just mute the steam app and webclient helper I won't hear it anymore? Just gave that a try. Hopefully that will do.

Again, I don't mean to be a bother, this noise is actually so irritating so I just want a fix. Thanks
