When an alert box appears that contains info on trackers, cookies, suppression, mail, etc. an alert sound is played which can mean 50 alerts per hour.

Hi   ! The default Firefox notification system doesn't notify you with audio, only visually.

So, my guess is that it's your OS that's being 'noisy' : https://www.imore.com/how-enable-and-disable-notification-sounds-your-mac

Unless you happen to have this add-on installed and forgot all about it : https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/notification-sound/


Separate issue : Your system details show that your Flash needs to be updated :
