Why do my PC makes sound ( the sound on Windows 10 we get when an USB device is inserted ) even when no device is inserted ?

Solution
It could be that you need updated drivers for hardware.
If you have a brand name PC, go look on web site for your model and check you have latest software.
If its a custom build, check motherboard makers web site for the motherboard you have.

Its likely to be a USB driver or chipset.

This is one other thought. Power. On my older computers, I can hear the fan speed change slightly when I plug/unplug the usb devices. It was because, although small, there was a drain on the power supply from the computer to power whatever item I plugged into the usb port. Every device is different. an example is a camera vs a simple memory stick. Give it a try on your pc. It may be a similar situation. good luck.
