... then I think the next step (if the sounds are even REAL) is a bit tedious. Open your Control Panel and look through all of the Windows sounds (Sounds and Events in XP, whatever) that are set for specific events. There might be a "burp" sound that was associated with some odd "Theme" from the past that got stuck in the settings. Every time you hit an End Stop or some other "Event" the "burp" belches. Change the setting or delete "burp.mp3" or whatever the sound file might be.

If that's not it, turn off your speakers. Problem solved.

lol I thought about that, could be FF is blocking a popup and that is a notification sound, but unless he made that change then Id look into some sort of spyware or virus

Of course "he made that change." It's a burp and he's a frog.

lol. that reminds me when I used to do IRChat on a network called Dalnet. You had to use a client. There are some pretty neat clients out there. If someone with a client had the same sound set on their PC you could literally make them play on that other persons PC. We would rip sounds from the old version of War Craft, we had sound files like ak 47s. It was funny
