Constant High-Pitch, Alert-like Sound Playing From PC Even When Sound Devices Are Muted And Disabled.

[Bill_515]

Hi,
For the past several months, I've been experiencing my PC randomly emitting this high-pitch, alert-like sound from my monitor's speakers even after I mute and disable all sound devices. It would only stop when I shut down my PC. At first, it would only happen once or twice a week. But now it occurs several times a day and I don't know what to do anymore.

If anyone is wondering, I made sure that there were not any background programs running in Task Manager during these sporadic episodes. Since this has only started happening as of a few months ago, perhaps this is some sort of glitch caused by a Windows Update? 

                                                 

Here is a Google Drive link to a video I took of the computer making these sounds:

Is anyone else having this issue? Any insight into this befuddling situation would greatly appreciated.
