Well, Donald, I tried all processes several times, including purposely
creating a sound but found no reference to a .wav file. I tried
searching *.wav. in all processes and got no results in any. I guess
individual sound files are not logged as such. Using Clipmate I found
the file and the usual reference, \blobtxt.idx : \blobblob.idx :
\blobblob.blb, which are the storing of data, yet nowhere does it refer
to the "bop!" one gets when copying.
Any suggestions?
Don't use the wild card(*) in you search criteria, just search for .wav
only.

Sorry to be so long coming back, Donald.
I have downloaded Process Monitor and at 64% and around 500,000
entries into it it looks like being another half hour to run. I
really want to get rid of these noises, but frankly, how am I to
locate a noise?
If you have a certain set of sequences that produces the unknown sound
on your machine, then start Process Monitor and go through that
sequence.
Once you've produced the sound, then stop capturing in Process Monitor
by hitting CTRL + E and it will stop capturing events.
Then use the search function in Process Monitor(Edit||Find) to search
for any reference the .wav file in the captured events.
Good luck,
Donald Anadell

Thanks, Don.
I have set Startup for just a small hand-full of programmes, none
of which make a sound. I also tested each sound in "Sound" to find
the most irritating 'boing' and searched for *.wav and checked out
all of those - nearly 1,000 - also without finding the culprits!
Any other suggestions will be gratefully accepted.
You can use the Sysinternals utility Process Monitor to try and
track down the process that is emitting the sound.

Hi,
Look at programs (security, privacy, etc) which load at startup
and run in
the background. Look in the System Tray for these programs and run
MSCONFIG
((Start > Run> (type in) msconfig)) > Startup tab. Check these
programs for
options to make a sound when a particular action occurs.
Hope this helps,
Don

Peculiar sounds annoy me so I have set 'Sounds' to virtually nil
using
Control Panel/Sounds and disabling all the Windows boings and
beeps and
saved the setting as "My own".
However, I keep getting the odd boing, burp and beep, such as
when closing
a
programme after pasting something and closing E7.
Is there somewhere else I should look to stop these irritants?
TIA or any help.
Ed
