I recently downloaded OS X Mountain Lion and I like the added features but I'm getting annoyed by what seems to be random "whoosh" noises. How can I disable this sound effect? Thanks a bunch! kmart69

Try this System Preferences>Sounds>Sound Effects tab and deselect 'Play user interface sound effects'.
If it's in Mail go to Mail>Preferences>General tab and you can control sounds there (independently of the above suggestion).
I expect other applications may also have there own Sound Preferences that can be modified on an app to app basis.

Paul_31, thanks for your input. Unfortunately I've already tried your advice but I still encounter the whooshing. At least your answer narrows things down a bit. Regarding when the whooshing occurs, I'm at a loss because it seems to occur at random.
Do you use Messages/iChat?
