Mysterious irritating sound

I have a new Dell D600 with WinXP installed--my first experience with it.
All is well EXCEPT that every couple of seconds it emits this sound, a
multiple-boing on a descending scale. I can eliminate it by setting the
sound scheme to "No Sounds" but I kind of like the lower-impact system
sounds. Is there any way to figure out what program is making what sound? I
walked through the system sound control looking for this particular sound
and it wasn't there. Any other way to deal with it?
