Do you get banners in the notification centre? If so, just tap on the banners and it will open the app.
Not ideal but go to Settings->NotificationCenter and look through the list of apps under "Include" looking for any that seem new or out of the ordinary.
Also you can click on each of the listed apps to see which Alert Sound is being used.
If you can't identify the specific app the above should narrow down the possible culprits. You can turn off sound notifications for the suspect apps one by one until you identify the correct one.

Do you have any rules set up associated with receiving emails from that particular sender?
I use Yahoomail for my email and I just checked and don't have any alerts set up. Now I'm wondering if the bong I got was just coincidental with the fund raising newsletter arriving. Then I forwarded the message to myself and the got a bong the firs time but not on the second or third forwards. Strange, a two time tag. I guess I'll have to wait for the next letter or if if there's another boinger with a trigger.

So is it a gulping bong sound, or a gulping gong sound. Cause if your Mac is making gulping bong sounds i'm not sure what you can do about that, i hear it's habit forming.
Otherwise, perhaps check in Mail -> Preferences -> Rules like guitarman777 said.
