Hi all. I'm hoping someone here can help me with a strange problem:

Since installing Yosemite, my iMac has starting making and annoying buzzer/alert sound approximately every two minutes. I've captured a recording of it on Vine here.

Can anyone tell me what this is? It's driving me crazy! I've installed Sound Bunny which shows you all the applications that a making sound and it's not reporting any applications. I don't have any notifications and have closed all applications.

Thanks
 
Same here

Hello, any luck with solving the annoying sound issue? I have the exact same problem.
 
No, unfortunately not. :(

Please post back here if you find a solution in the meantime.
 
The problem turned out to be caused by the Airmall (beta) mail app. I had a message stuck in my outgoing messages that was too big to send. I cancelled the message and the noise has stopped! :D Yay!
 
Found it! Airmail Beta pops this sound every 2 minutes (I ignore if it's on purpose). Turns out if a message gets 'stucked' in the Drafts/Outbox. (Solved with Chimpanzee via Twitter, posted here in case someone needs the info).

Cheers!
