Mac making strange alert/notification sounds with all notifications turned off My Mac Mini M1 makes a strange custom alert sound randomly throughout the day. I can be sitting right in front of it when it happens and there's no obvious reason for it that pops up. Sometimes it will happen back to back to back, other times I won't hear it for a day or two. I have all notifications turned off, and the particular sound it makes doesn't show up as a standard alert sound under the sounds effects screen. I'm on Ventura 13.5.2. What can I do to troubleshoot this issue?

my mac gives a strange short notification sound every few minutes and i cant find out why i have a new M1 MacBook Pro and love the machine, but since some time I hear a soft notification sound like every other minute, sometimes few minutes. I already put the Mac in do not disturb but the sounds stays. it sounds a bit as the sound when you enter a key where its not allowed (sorry dont know a better discription) there is no where as far as I can see any line of text that comes with it and I have no clue how to find this by now annoying sound, anyone an idea?

Is the annoying sound a Sound Effects in the Sound Preference or something different?

Revisit your Notification & Focus Preference to make sure that all Alerts are turned Off.

If those do not help, investigate any third party app's and Programs that you have installed.
