iMac G5 making ringing or cash register sound!!

I have been hearing this strange automated sound recently. Don't know if it is a virus etc. Every so often I hear a ringing sound when I'm doing work. Sounds like the ringing of a cash register! Haven't pinpointed if it is only when connected to net or if certain apps are open.
Could someone please tell me where to start looking! Weird.

iMac G5 iSight 20" Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Hmmm . . . are you using Microsoft Office? That makes an irritating ker-ching sound every time it saves or auto saves. Can't figure out how to switch it off =0)

HMMMM... Normally I'd say no, but I will say that I recently loaded a piece of software? that allows me to use a Citrix Connection to access a real estate database, it seems that I amusing internet explorer in a window, but it is on their server.
I'm looking at my computer and this software or link isn't active, nor am I on that site, could this be it? Can't remember if the problem just started around the time of installation. But could be...
Any other ideas?

I have the same issue. I cannot find any setting or any application generating this. Rings a few times then stops. All my applications can be closed and it still happens. Nothing in System Preferences..
