It sounds exactly like the pacman game sound I get accessing Google on Firefox. Even when I leave Google on Firefox, this annoying sound continues. I noticed the same sound on Internet Explorer only when accessing Google search engine interface(It starts if you are idle on the search page for a while). It stops after I leave the interface or I make a search.

It just started suddenly. There is no screen shot - Is this a virus?

Namco's 'Pac Man' is having it's 30th anniversary today and Google is celebrating by having a little flash game as their logo for today only.

That is an issue with the "Cool Previews" extension. You can update Cool Previews to the latest version. See https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/2207/
