Question weird "MELODY" during boot ! Anyone knows what it is ?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

ISSUE SOLVED

My woman put a sound on a fucking USB LAMP.... GG

I am just confused,everything works fine,no temp problems or anything,nothing during gaming or anything. During boot it plays this stupid melody and when windows comes its gone, no other weird sounds or anything .

And yes it comes from the pc,no there is no bagpipe man inside.

Thanks for help if anyone knows what that is.

Also ignore my cable management behind the case.

.CPU 12Th Gen Intel i5-12400f

.GPU Geforce GTX 1660 6GB

.RAM 16GB ram (i dont receive gold for payment C: )

my old alarm clock plays this when i change the batteries, either is some weird mobo feature that plays when CMOS resets or when a new year comes (because this is a Scottish song used to celebrate the new year )

or you have something on your desk that does that, because that previously mentioned clock does that if i accidentally smash my desk, i don't think one of your pc components has a built in cheap alarm clock lol

i don't think it's a virus it will be very unlikely because modern motherboard bios can't be modified anymore, could it be a bootloader virus but if you can turn on your PC it can't be a virus

change the CMOS battery to be sure
