Whoa, this one was real tough.  NOT!  If I would've just correlated the
timing of the sounds with another system event, I would've noticed what it
was.

The solution is almost too simple to mention.  Moronic.  Someone hit me -
please.

First, in Outlook 2000 go to Tool | Options |  Preferences | Email Options |
Advanced Email Options

Then uncheck "Play a Sound" in the "When new items arrive" box.

>=(   <- that's the face I made when I found that that was the problem.

Big time duh on my part.  Sorry to waste everyone's time on it!

Chris
