Even I was. So, presenting you with this post. A simple reboot should fix it. The volume mixer in Windows 10 shows all the programs that are currently using your sound devices. You need to open it and take its help to find out the program that is causing random noises.
Once you have that, you can disable its sound. To use this method, right-click on the volume icon present in the taskbar.
Select Open volume mixer. You will see various soundbars. If an app is making a sound, the bar will show a green color. Keep looking at it for a while to identify the app. In my case, it was the Lightkey app which, by the way, is a great text prediction tool for Windows.
I had activated Sound assistance for it. As you can see, the app is visible in the volume mixer. You need to configure the tool to track the applications that produce sound. I just wanted to ask before I would post that to a public place. Also, last night I called Asus technical support, and he helped me reset my bios. Maybe that helped even though at the time it didn't seem to change much. Maybe my computer knows I might return it so it is trying to be quiet.
What are your thoughts after you look at my task manager print screen? Today, everything seems ok with my computer. There are some loading sounds but not as much as before.
The loading sounds I currently hear sound like they would be normal. I think I have learned that with my next computer I might like an SSD drive since from what I have read there aren't loading sounds with those.
I could even look into having someone put one into this computer I have. I would have less hard drive space but I think that would take care of the hard drive loading sounds.
The sound of the fan doesn't bother me. Thank you again for your time! I appreciate it very much. Hi sorry I forgot to attach the file. Attached Thumbnails. I really like your idea of installing an SSD. I have printed out this info and will keep it when I decide to do it. I think for now I will just keep it as is but down the line put in an SSD. Thanks so much for your time. I will come back to ask questions when I need more help. I would like to take a Computer Science class too so I can understand this stuff better.
I appreciate your time and the information. Thanks again!

Hi, thanks for the quick reply.
I had trouble being able to delete any that said file not found, as it said I need to run as administrator even though I am administrator , so I'm attaching one without those files being deleted.
I hope this is ok. Attached Files AutoRuns. Posted 22 May - AM. Hi, thanks for the reply. If you're having audio issues after installing updates, try rolling back your audio driver.
In the search box on the taskbar, type device manager , then select it from the results. Select the arrow next to Sound, video and game controllers to expand it. Right-click the listing for your sound card or audio device, such as headphones or speakers, select Update driver , then select Search automatically for updated driver software. Follow the instructions to complete the update.
If Windows doesn't find a new driver, look for one on the device manufacturer's website and follow those instructions. If that doesn't work, try uninstalling your audio driver. Right-click the listing for your sound card or audio device, select Uninstall device , select the Delete the driver software for this device check box, and then select Uninstall. Note: Be sure to save documents and any other current work before you restart. Select the audio device whose driver you want to update, select Next , and then follow the instructions to install it.
Following is an example of a driver download page for a sound device manufacturer. Right-click the listing for your sound card or audio device, then select Properties. Select the Driver tab, then select Roll Back Driver. Read and follow the instructions and then select Yes if you want to roll back your audio driver. If rolling back your audio driver didn't work or wasn't an option, you can try to restore your PC from a system restore point. When Microsoft installs updates on your system, we create a system restore point in case problems arise.
Try restoring from that point and see if that fixes your sound problems. For more info, see "Restore from a system restore point" in Recovery options in Windows If you're connecting to an audio device—such as headphones or speakers—using USB or HDMI, you might need to set that device as the default audio device. You can check that when you set your default output audio device.
In the search box on the taskbar, type control panel , then select it from the results. On the Playback tab, right-click the listing for your audio device, select Set as Default Device , and then select OK. If setting your audio device as the default device doesn't help, continue to the next tip for additional troubleshooting. Sometimes having audio enhancements on can result in audio issues. Disabling them may resolve your issue. On the Playback tab, right-click the Default Device , and then select Properties.
On the Enhancements tab, select either the Disable all enhancements or the Disable all sound effects check box depending on which option you see , select OK , and try to play your audio device. If that doesn't work, on the Playback tab, select another default device if you have one , select either the Disable all enhancements or the Disable all sound effects check box depending on which option you see , select OK , and try to play audio again.
Do this for each default device.
