Odd Music Sample When I Open Laptop

    When I open my HP laptop, I now hear a rap-DJ record scratch (kind of cartoonish sounding, not something I think would be in an actual song), or on other occasions, a brief clip of a rap song. Both last less than a second, maybe. I don't listen to rap. I don't have any rap music on my hard drive or playing on any tab.

    This isn't from a fresh restart of the laptop. It's running, just with the cover closed. I hear the "music" when I open the laptop. I've run Windows Security > Virus & threat protection, and I've run Malwarebytes Free. No Malware found.

    I've muted these programs, but the issue persists: iTunesHelper.exe, RtkAudUService64.exe, myHP System Tray

    Here's my Windows info:

    Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-1035G1 CPU @ 1.00GHz 1.20 GHz
    Installed RAM 12.0 GB (11.7 GB usable)
    System type 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor
    Pen and touch No pen or touch input is available for this display

    What is this? Please help!

    Good luck. I have the same issue on one of my 3 android tablets. Between 9pm and 10pm it makes some sort of chime. I have notifications turned off, went through system settings and have yet to silence the thing. I know how maddening it can be.
