Sounds like an old World War II submarine movie.

Don't know.... Have you checked to see if you're running anything in the background? Open up your Activity Monitor and check the processes to see if anything is going on.

Trace back what you've done lately. Installed any new programs or games? Any new utilities? Messed around with system settings or sounds?

Let us know.

Regards.

That is one of the default sound effects available for alerts.

I'd reboot the machine and figure out which app is using it.
