I have turned off every sound yet nothing has turned off the specific sound I have recorded for you to hear.

I hope someone will recognize the sound and help me fix it. TIA

Indeed, it's a notification of some extension.

@April Roga should check the options/settings page of that extension to check for a notification sound On/Off switch.

BTW, you have a load of extensions installed. Untrustworthy extensions can pose security risks. And the more you have, the more vulnerable your browser becomes.
