What kind of noises?
Does it happen in other Office applications as well?
Did you perhaps install the Office Sounds pack?
Do you perhaps enabled "Provide feedback with sound?
Tools- Options- tab Other- button Advanced Options...

Since I switched to Win 7 Outllook has bugged me by making noises. I
looked it up and followed the instructions to uncheck a few boxes
under options. I don't get a noise for new messages, but I get a noise
when I open an email. What arcane checkbox am I missing?
Thanks.
