Strange noise, water splash, very loud
Been hearing this odd noise for a while now and it has gotten on my nerves, its this watery splash sound. It sounds like someone tapped the surface of water lightly, but its very very loud on my computer despite all my settings. I've looked through all my sound settings to find anything even remotely close to what it is and find nothing. If anyone has an idea of what it could be, that be great. I've already contacted support and they did a remote access to update my drivers and change my speaker settings, but it did not stop it from happening again. I wouldn't be so annoyed with it if it wasn't so loud. I think it is coming from Firefox as it seems to only make the noise while it is on

Also, its very random to me, it will go off several times in mere seconds and then not make a noise for an hour and its only once before being quiet again
Probably an extension added that noise to Firefox. Like maybe NoScript, where that sound can be disabled via NoScript Options > Notifications = Audio feedback when scripts are blocked
Try Firefox Safe Mode to see if the problem goes away. Firefox Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode that temporarily turns off hardware acceleration, resets some settings, and disables add-ons (extensions and themes).
If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu:
- Click the menu button
, click Help 
and select Restart with Add-ons Disabled.
If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
- On Windows: Hold the Shift key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
- On Mac: Hold the option key while starting Firefox.
- On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run firefox -safe-mode
(you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start in Safe Mode".
If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, theme, or hardware acceleration. Please follow the steps in the Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems article to find the cause.
To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.
Another user had the same problem. Turned out an open tab was the cause.
Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web Link} by holding down the <Shift>
(Mac=Options) key, and then starting Firefox. Is the problem still there?
