如果只是突然或在您将 Windows 10 PC 更新到更新的版本或版本之后，您开始注意到每隔几分钟就会随机播放一次通知声音，那么这篇文章可能会对您有所帮助。它可能是错误的浏览器扩展程序、Steam 库存助手(Steam Inventory Helper)或任何其他发出这些噪音的程序。
随机通知声音(Random Notification Sound)一直在 PC 上播放
如果您遇到此问题，您可以尝试以下我们推荐的解决方案（不分先后顺序），看看是否有助于解决问题。
- 重启电脑
- 运行音频疑难解答
- 检查音量混合器
- 使用 Process Monitor(Use Process Monitor)监控声音
- 检查鼠标
- 检查网络浏览器扩展
- 更新声卡驱动程序
让我们看一下关于列出的每个解决方案所涉及的过程的描述。
1]重新启动计算机
您可以尝试解决 Windows 10 设备上的问题的第一件事是重新启动系统(restart your system)。如果这不起作用，请尝试下一个解决方案。
2]运行音频疑难解答
此解决方案要求您运行本机音频疑难解答程序以查找 Windows 10 PC 上的声音驱动程序问题（如果有）并修复它们。
3]检查音量混合器
在Windows 10中，音量混合器(Mixer)显示当前正在使用您的声音设备的所有程序。此解决方案要求您打开 Volume Mixer并使用该实用程序找出导致随机噪音的程序。
您将看到各种条形音箱。如果应用程序正在发出声音，该条将显示绿色。继续查看它一段时间以识别应用程序。确定罪魁祸首后，您可以静音或禁用其声音。
4]使用进程监视器(Use Process Monitor)来监控声音
此解决方案要求您使用Process Monitor工具来找出产生声音的确切程序。您需要配置该工具以跟踪触发通知声音的应用程序。就是这样：
- 下载进程监视器工具(Process Monitor tool)。
- 解压缩包。
- 单击Procmon文件将其打开。
- Process Monitor Filter窗口将打开。如果这没有发生，请单击菜单栏上的(Menu)过滤器(Filter)并选择过滤器(Filter)。
- 接下来，单击第一个下拉框并选择Path。
- 接下来，单击包含(Contains)，然后在文本框中键入 .wav。
.wav文件扩展名是专门添加的，因为大多数通知声音都是.wav格式。
- 单击添加(Add)按钮。
- 单击应用(Apply )>确定(OK)。
- 接下来，单击菜单栏上的文件。
- 单击捕获事件(Capture Events)。
现在，让Procmon工具在后台运行。不要关闭它。等待(Wait)一段时间，直到您听到声音。然后，在“进程名称”(Process Name )和“路径( Path)”列下查找正在推送通知声音的应用程序。您可以过滤 .wav 进程。
5]检查鼠标
一些Windows 10 PC 用户报告说，鼠标故障是随机通知声音的罪魁祸首。因此，请断开鼠标一段时间，看看问题是否已解决。您也可以尝试更换鼠标的USB端口或完全更换鼠标。
如果您还不想更换鼠标，可以将连接和断开声音静音(mute the connect and disconnect sound)- 请记住，此操作将适用于您连接到 PC 的所有设备。

6]检查网络浏览器扩展
一些用户还报告说，Steam Inventory Helper网络浏览器扩展是罪魁祸首。因此，如果您安装了扩展程序，请导航到扩展程序的设置并关闭声音或完全禁用扩展程序(disable the extension)。
7]更新声卡驱动程序
过时或损坏的声音驱动程序可能会导致此问题。在这种情况下，更新或重新安装声音驱动程序可以解决此问题。
您可以通过设备管理器(via the Device Manager)手动更新声卡驱动程序，也可以在Windows 更新下(Windows Update)的可选更新(get the driver updates on the Optional Updates)（如果可用）部分获取驱动程序更新。您也可以从声卡制造商的网站下载最新版本的驱动程序。(download the latest version of the driver)
如果您不喜欢声音，您可以随时完全关闭通知和系统声音(Turn Off Notification and System Sounds)。
希望这可以帮助！

Random Notification Sound keeps playing on PC
If you’re faced with this issue, you can try our recommended solutions below in no particular order and see if that helps to resolve the issue.
- Restart computer
- Run Audio Troubleshooter
- Check Volume Mixer
- Use Process Monitor to monitor sound
- Check the mouse
- Check web-browser extension
- Update Sound card drivers
Let’s take a look at the description of the process involved concerning each of the listed solutions.
1] Restart computer
The first thing you can try to fix the issue on your Windows 10 device is to restart your system. If that doesn’t work, try the next solution.
2] Run Audio Troubleshooter
This solution requires you to run the native Audio Troubleshooter to find the sound driver issues, if any on your Windows 10 PC, and fix them.
3] Check Volume Mixer
In Windows 10, the Volume Mixer shows all the programs that are currently using your sound devices. This solution requires you to open Volume Mixer and use the utility to find out the program that is causing random noises.
You will see various soundbars. If an app is making a sound, the bar will show a green color. Keep looking at it for a while to identify the app. Once you identify the culprit, you can mute or disable its sound.
4] Use Process Monitor to monitor sound
This solution requires you to use the Process Monitor tool to find out the exact program that is generating sound. You need to configure the tool to track the applications that is triggering the notification sound. Here’s how:
- Download the Process Monitor tool.
- Unzip the package.
- Click on the Procmon file to open it.
- The Process Monitor Filter window will open. If that doesn’t happen, click on Filter at the Menu bar and select Filter.
- Next, click on the first drop-down box and select Path.
- Next, click Contains and in the text box, type .wav.
The .wav file extension is specifically added because most of the notification sounds are in the .wav format.
- Click the Add button.
- Click Apply > OK.
- Next, click File on the Menu bar.
- Click Capture Events.
Now, keep Procmon tool running in the background. Do not close it. Wait for some time until you hear the sound. Then, look under Process Name and Path columns to find out the app that is pushing the notification sound. You could filter for .wav processes.
5] Check the mouse
A faulty mouse was reported by some Windows 10 PC users as the culprit behind the random notification sound. So, disconnect the mouse for a while and see if the issue is fixed. You can also try changing the USB port of your mouse too or change the mouse altogether.
If you don’t want to replace the mouse yet, you can mute the connect and disconnect sound – bear in mind that this action will apply to all the devices that you connect to your PC.

6] Check web-browser extension
Some users also reported that the Steam Inventory Helper web browser extension was the culprit. So, if you have the extension installed, navigate to the settings of the extension and turn the sound off or disable the extension altogether.
7] Update Sound card drivers
An outdated or corrupted sound driver could potentially cause this issue. In this case, updating or reinstalling the sound driver could fix the issue.
You can either update the sound card drivers manually via the Device Manager, or you can get the driver updates on the Optional Updates (if available) section under Windows Update. You can also download the latest version of the driver from the sound card manufacturer’s website.
If you do not like sounds, you can always Turn Off Notification and System Sounds completely.
Hope this helps!
