I am having a problem with my Start Navigation sound.

I goes off every 10 seconds on its own, no matter what I do, even if im idle.


I know I could just turn off the sound, but Id really like to know what is
causing this to happen. might be a security issue

Just thought I'd post since I've been having this problem (though not as
frequent, maybe once every 3 mins). The culprit turned out to be X-Lite
(SIP Softphone software) in my case. I had noticed that there were
often connections to akamaitechnologies.deploy or something like that.
It looks like X-Lite has been looking for updates in a rather buggy
manner.

Anyways, the way that I found the culprit was using FileMon (just
google for 'sysinternals filemon'). I setup a filter for '*.wav' and
just waited for the next click. Then I saw that X-Lite had opened the
Start Navigation wav file.
