Single 'beep' sound in Windows 10

Has anyone ever experienced hearing a single beep sound in Windows 10? I've heard it twice in my laptop now, once while I was browsing, once while I was gaming. During the time I was gaming, the beep was followed by a game freeze and a crash. Nothing happened, however, when I was browsing and heard a single beep. What does a single beep sound (not consistent beeping) mean?

Thanks! For an ASUS laptop, how do I know which chart to check in the link you've given?

I don't know about the crash, but I was also getting a single beep sound occasionally, but I traced the source to my Caps Lock being set to alert me when it was on or off!

ajay,

That ComputerHope link does not relate to your situation. It is only about hardware self-tests that take place as a computer starts.

Diagnosing intermittent problems such as yours can take ages.
- I assume there is nothing that can be identified as having changed just before the problem started.
- I assume that there is no consistency in which applications are running.
- You could try keeping Event viewer open and then turning to it when the beep happens to see if it records anything useful.

1. I think you're correct, and I wasn't changing or fiddling anything with the system settings or similar before both events.
2. Correct, I was running a browser in one of the instance the event occurred and running a game when it happened again.
3. Will try this, thanks!

Oh, I see. I checked my settings and I don't think I have that turned on. Thanks, anyway!
