[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 1041732"] It's not spyware. For starters, Macs don't have any. But even if they did, the idea behind spyware is to be SNEAKY. Announcing oneself doesn't really sound like something a spy would do, does it? Check your date/time settings to be sure you don't have the time set to announce itself, check the VoiceOver and Universal Access settings to make sure they're turned off. Get in the habit of quitting all the apps you're not using when you're done with them. I'll bet anything that makes the "noises" go away, which will prove that it was something on your end all along.
