Why is my computer beeping when i start a game?

So this just started a few days ago, Doesnt matter what game i play as soon as it loads up i hear 4 beeps, Starts at a lower tone and each tone after is slightly higher.

This isnt a sound coming from my pc itself, I pulled up my volume mixer and i can see the system sound meter spiking when the beeps play.

I checked my windows notification sounds one by one and that sound is not in there.

Any ideas as to what this could be or how i can track down the cause?

Thank you

OS: win 10 x64

    Can't really help unless you tell us what game, and the exact make and model of the PC.

    turn your Windows volume all the way down and start a game. if it still beeps, it is probably a BIOS beep. you will need to look up beep codes for your specific model PC.

    otherwise, it is definitely a program on your system. start uninstalling things going back to when the beeps started. you can sort the uninstall list by Date Added.
