Re: Hacker or Keylogger. Which one?

Start>settings>control panel>sounds and audio devices.
Hit the sounds tab

Scroll down the list in the white box and see if "Start Navigation has a
little speaker icon next to it. You can test any that have that icon by
highlighting the sound and pressing the little media player type arrow. If
this is set as the start navigation sound it will occur each time IE changes
pages etc.

Alternatively search for a file called start.wav and play it... is that the
sound?

ICQ and maybe other instant messenger programs sometimes have this sound
turned on for keys by default, it's not impossible it's got stuck on.

In fact highlight and test all of the sounds that have a little speaker icon
in that list, if it's one of them then maybe the list will help show what it
is because other programs can add to that list.
