    Its probably an advert sound in your browsers cache, well maybe.

    Clear the browsers history, see what happens

    Isn't that just one of the Standard AOL instant messaging buddy list alerts?

    I don't (and won't) use AOL, but my sister does, and that's exactly what she hears when a "buddy" comes online.

    Incidentally, does anyone know if that alert was recorded by Joanna Lumley? Maybe just my imagination, but it does sound like her...
