"Funk" sound looping over and over on login screen

I'm using OS X Leopard 10.5.2.

I don't know when did this occur but nowadays when I get to the login screen, even without moving the mouse or hitting anything on the keyboard, there's this annoying sound (the "Funk" sound on the System Prefs) that goes on and on and on, as if an inactive window is selected thus creates the Funk sound. I tried using ****tail app to clean everything but no success. I even tried inserting my Leopard installer DVD and fixed permissions (although nothing to fix) and still I get the repetitive annoying sound each and every time. I thought it was because of some previously installed app so I removed probably about 5 apps, fixed permissions again, ran ****tail and restart, but there it is again.

I don't want to end up reinstalling Leopard again. Please anyone, i'm desperate. I hope you can help me with this problem

Did you mod your login window recently?

Yes, I used that HUD mod I saw over at another website. It has an installer but sadly no uninstaller. So I followed the modder's instructions since he provided the old files to revert it back but still gets the damn sound noise.

I noticed too that even I get past the login window, when I immediately open any window (System Prefs, Safari, Mail, Adium.. any window) When getting the window active by clicking on it, it gives me the darn Funk loop sound again! It's getting frustrating already

Turn off the Funk sound. Just go into the Sound system pref panel, and drag the "Alert Volume" slider to 0.

Smart suggestion nick, but if i had the same problem i wouldn't want it all or nothing. You might want to do a repair install.

How can I do a repair install?

Lulz i have no clue, never had to do one. I imagine you pop in your install DVD and select "repair" ? don't know for sure...
