Start Navigation Sound every 10 seconds

[Guest untouchable]

I am having a problem with my Start Navigation sound.

 

I goes off every 10 seconds on its own, no matter what I do, even if im idle.

 

 

I know I could just turn off the sound, but Id really like to know what is

causing this to happen. might be a security issue

Just thought I'd post since I've been having this problem (though not as

frequent, maybe once every 3 mins). The culprit turned out to be X-Lite

(SIP Softphone software) in my case. I had noticed that there were

often connections to akamaitechnologies.deploy or something like that.

It looks like X-Lite has been looking for updates in a rather buggy

manner.

 

Anyways, the way that I found the culprit was using FileMon (just

google for 'sysinternals filemon'). I setup a filter for '*.wav' and

just waited for the next click. Then I saw that X-Lite had opened the

Start Navigation wav file.
