Beep when opening web pages

Whenever I open a web page I get a beep.  I feel it has something to do with Norton Internet Security, but I can't find it.  I have tried adjusting sound properties, no good, any suggestions would be appreciated.

Dimension 8200
Microsoft Windows XP Home
SP 2
Intel Pentium 4 1800MHz
Bios Version: A09
Total Memory: 512 rambus
Creative SB Live! Value
NVIDIA GeForce FX 5200
Norton Internet Security 2005

    Go to Control Panel, Sounds, change scheme, and go down the list testing each one until you find it and set it to None. Symantec sounds are listed there too and can be changed.

    I believe this is under Windows Explorer, Navigation Complete. Set to none.

    Very annoying!!

    Go down the whole list and use the test button to id the sound. You can test the whole sound scheme by turning off sounds altogether. Then see if you still hear it. If you do, look for a setting within Norton or another program like Google Toolbar or Pop up blocker. Google can play a sound when blocking popups.

    Don't have a test button, already checked popup blockers and ad blockers, makes the sound for MSN and Google.  Tried searching Norton, but could not find the problem.

    Is the beep coming from your speakers, or inside the computer?

    I have Spybot, Ad-Aware[turned off Ad-Watch, conflict with Norton], run them both frequently.  No, this is a computer notification beep for something on opening Web pages, that I can't figure out how to turn off, or how it got started, I am thinking Norton, but I have gotten no where with that.

    I think it's going to take some trial and error, but I'm pretty sure this is a system sound.

    yes it is a system sound, the same sound associated with volume up and down, can't figure out why it shows up
