Hi, my 2020 MacBook Air seems to make this random error sound over and over (my error sound is Heroine). Could this mean malware, internal keyboard issues, so on and so forth?
P.S: I also recently updated to MacOS Monetary.
MacBook Air 13″, macOS 12.0
did you try to start it in safe mode to see if it persists?
Apple silicon
I found out that it only happen when I connect to a type C hub. The type c hub is connected to External Display, KeyBoard and Mouse. I'm not sure which devices causes it, maybe I can try to unplug one by one when it happen again. But, It working well without the type C hub connected, so far I did not faced the issue when I unplug the type C hub.
It may be a stuck key. Or pressing a key that has no meaning to the open app.
I'm not sure what the Heroine sound effect sounds like. Are you sure it is not the "ding" the laptop makes when connecting the charger? If it is the charger "ding", then it may indicate a charging issue or perhaps a loose charging cable.
is this solved? I faced the same issue. Not sure is hardware issue or software.
It seems like my MacBook is keep pressing "down" arrow key.
I tried restart when the sound is happen at the very first time, and then it seems like OK after restart.
However, it happen again on the next day, I tried to blow at the "down" arrow key and it seems like stop coincidentally, but this method did work for the third time happening.
So I'm really not sure is hardware or software issue.

It may be the USB-C hub itself. Or it may be a compatibility issue with one or more devices and this USB-C hub.
It may just be a power related issue where this hub and its connected devices are using too much power. Usually it is best to use a powered USB hub.
Update: After like, 1 week it stopped doing that. Strange... Oh well.
Random "blongblongblongblongblongblong" sound (error sound) over and over
