Any ideas on phantom three-dings repeating while the pc is idle? Google searches just relate to the bios and startup error beeps. Not tied to any action or user input, just sitting there and three dings. Could repeat every couple minutes over the course of an hour then nothing for five days.

Some apps are running so I thought maybe a low memory error but task manager says otherwise. I also thought maybe some hardware was failing but assumed the bios startup would detect that first.

I'm assuming that it doesn't sound like a USB device getting removed?

(my work PC would beep at me and it ended up being the USB hubs built into the monitors disconnecting when they went to sleep)

Definitely not the usb sound. If you go into the sound settings it's the one named Windows Background.wav, just the generic windows 10 popup sound. But always three together.

Check the manual for your mainboard model, it'll tell you what the beep codes mean. There's usually a list somewhere.

Dumb question but wouldn't those be POST codes that come across as system beeps on startup? Can those come across the system audio after the OS is loaded?
