My MacBook Pro 2022 makes a weird and distracting notification sound every few minutes with no notification to show for it.

I have only recently purchased this laptop and at the start all was fine, but now after using it for a month the weird sound started occurring more and more first only once a day and now many times a day, I don't know what causes it since I have already tried all the fixes that I found online and it still happens, I've disabled my notifications on everything and I've even muted the ui sounds and nothing works, there isn't much information regarding this issue online.

The sound plays for a very short time and it even shows up as a playable video or audio on my interactive bar, also its none of the sounds that you can select as a notification sound on the MacBook.

Its impacting my work focus and I would be grateful if someone knew a fix.

you can try a SafeBoot Use safe mode on your Mac - Apple Support will sort many anomalies

Does a quick disk repair before it fully boots up, and certain system caches get cleared and rebuilt, third party system modifications and system accelerations are disabled.

Login and test. Reboot as normal and test. Caches get rebuilt automatically.

This test will tell you if third party interference; most* extensions etc are not loaded in safe boot mode.

—Test issue in another user (or guest user) account Change Users & Groups settings on Mac - Apple Support

This will tell you if it a universal issue or isolated to your user/admin account. 

unplug all third party peripherals when testing

Uninstall all third party apps that are Cleaners/Optimizers/VPN/Anti-Virus
