That's where the cricket's hiding?

Sorry. That sounds like it could be a notification sound. You will want to look in System Preferences > Notifications, and see which sounds are selected for each Notification. I don't believe there is a way to search for Notification "sounds", and gets results you want.

It might be a fan. I should bring it to the Apple Store.
