Mac mini Beeps intermittently

Every now and then my Mac mini will make a beep - this is not at startup and system has been running for weeks.


How do I identify why it is beeping - I see no other notification?

For starters we need to know

the year model > Identify your Mac mini model - Apple Support

and the macOS version > Find out which macOS your Mac is using - Apple Support


If it is not a startup beep, see > If your Mac beeps during startup - Apple Support


Then check your System Settings/Preferences > Sound > Sound Effects/Alerts

see > Change the alert sounds on Mac - Apple Support


Next check your Notifications setting for an audible sound alert.
