Do you have any extensions installed?


1) Start firefox as
      firefox -ProfileManager
   create a new profile and use it.  If this stops the sounds it's a
   problem with your profile. Check about:config and your extensions.

2) Start firefox as
     firefox -safe-mode
   If this stops the sound it's aproblem with your extenisons or theme.
