Hi all, I am currently experiencing a rather annoying problem on my 16" Macbook Pro running 10.15.5. Every now and then, it goes off with an "alert" sound (the "funk" sound). It seems to me that its favourite moments to do so where when I previewed some picture on Quicklook or when I was switching to full screen video in a browser.
As I had software that I did not trust too much on my laptop (nothing of the illegal persuasion, just a couple of things with no dev signature), and because I need to trust my machine, I decided to just go and do a clean install. So, the machine runs 10.15.5, Malwarebytes says it's fully clean. I run the Apple Firewall, as well as Objective See's Lulu, BlockBlock, and all that jazz. I would say I am fairly security-minded, even more so since the last clean install.
I have tried all the tricks in the book—looking at the Console (with clock displaying seconds) to pinpoint the actual problem. No luck so far.
I do have some typical errors /faults that come out in the console. These are pasted in the code box below (in no real order). Below that, I also attach my Etrecheck report.
Any help would be much appreciated! Thanks!
