Hello there. I own an MSI B550 Tomahawk Ryzen 5 5600x with 32 GB DDR 3200. Occasionally during boot into Windows, I hear a sound similar to an old digital alarm clock ringing—sometimes brief, sometimes longer. It works with any sound device. My GPU is XFX 6800 and temperatures are normal. It happens whether I'm playing a game or just watching YouTube. I checked for system alarms but couldn't find anything enabled. It's really frustrating trying to figure out what's causing it. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

The source of the sound is unclear; it could be from the speakers, the motherboard, or another component.

it comes through the speakers, just as I mentioned whether it's a headset or a TV.

It appears a program is generating that noise. You need to locate it and disable it. While the sound plays, adjust the volume mixer to pinpoint its origin.

It's too haphazard and doesn't hold attention long enough to get the mixer opened.

check your bios for fan speed and temperature configurations, seeing if they include low settings that trigger an alarm or similar actions.

it does not originate from the primary board, it appears only during startup in Windows and is irrelevant regardless of the audio input, whether from the built-in device or the GPU's HDMI connection.

Check if CPU temperatures, fan speeds, or any failed fans are present. Also, consider turning off the PC, unplugging it, removing the battery, and listening for a motherboard warning or BIOS alert.

The power source used in this unit is not specified, and its age is unclear. Your location is not detailed. There is no mention of cabling alongside the power wire in parallel. No microwave or welding activity is noted nearby.

I launched the event viewer immediately after a tone. The system displayed the following information.
The permission settings for the application did not allow Local Activation for the COM Server application with the specified CLSID and APPID to the user DESKTOP-F26OOEU\maxwe SID from LocalHost via LRPC, indicating an unavailable SID. This security setting can be adjusted using the Component Services administrative tool.
