What you didn't say is if you hear the same dinging sounds in
other applications, or when your PC is inactive? Do you only
hear the sounds in Word, or do you hear them in Excel, too?
Is the sound coming out of your PC or is it coming through
your speakers?

Without more information, it's hard to make an educated guess.
The dinging sound may even be an internal alarm to warn you
that your CPU unit is overheating. Let's hope not.

I keep getting a dinging sound (for no reason). I even deleted Office Sounds
and I keep getting it. It is driving me nuts. How can I get rid of it?
