bell sound during log-in and occasionally on the hour

I've been struggling with a bell sound on my macbook air. I can't identify the cause. There's no accompanying notification, just the sound of the bell. Occasionally happens when I log-in, also sometimes on the hour or half hour.


I thought it might be a calendar notification or something, but I can't seem to find one. Anyone know how to check for what's making sounds and why, or default to no notification noises, if that's indeed what is going on?

MacBook Air 13", macOS 10.14

Probably System Preferences > Date & Time > Clock > ✅ Announce the time, but there are also various other cuckoo apps and chime apps for macOS. Could well be something else though, as all sorts of... odd... stuff can be installed.
