I located the problem in an add-on as was suggested I do that found the add-on the sound was coming from and stopped it. Thanks to all for the help.

I tried to mark it as solved but said access denied oh well.

Firefox itself does not make that kind of noise. But a downloader may. Are you using one? Check it's settings.

I have checked my control panel and find no "downloader" programs. I am not even sure why one would be needed.

If this is the problem how would I search for "downloader" programs?

How about the Add-ons Manager in Firefox?

Did you check the sound settings in Windows control panel to see if there is an sound effect configured for such an event?

I regret to say I have forgotten, I tried to find it but didn't see anything I recognized.
