My first thought is that you may not be dealing with a program.
Windows can use various sound schemes and maybe someone installed one
of these. Go to Control Panel's module named "Sounds" and see if a
scheme has been intsalled.

My second though is that you should be able to block anything that
starts automatically. Go to C:\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup and
see if anything there looks like it might be generating sounds. If you
find nothing, then download one of these programs:

With Windows 98, you can use MSConfig to control what starts
automnatically. With Windows 95, you can use Startup Control Panel.
Startup Control Panel is similar to the Msconfig utility that ships in
Windows 98. It can make troubleshooting easier by removing and
restoring items from the Windows startup. You can get Startup Control
Panel as freeware from:

Startup Cop can also disable items loading at Windows startup and it
is freeware. You can download Startup Cop from:
