(I know you might not know which it is, but seeing as all the different pop upblockers make slightly different sounds, it could help to know which one we're dealing with).

So, it constantly persists until you restart the computer? Once you restart, after Windows loads, at what point does the sound start playing again?

Have you ran any diagnostic or cleaning utilities to rule out spyware or other malware? I'd recommend CCleaner as a starting point.
I mainly run Firefox when using the net but I do have IE as well. I have both set up with their own respective pop up blocker. I'm going to run CCleaner and restart the computer and pay attention to see when the sound starts. I will post back in a little while. Thanks.
