Are you sure the sound isn't coming from the speaker? I have the same thing on my Macbook at boot and occasionally after waking from sleep. Because it always happens before the screen is fully up, I despaired of ever figuring out what was making the noise, but I am 99.99% sure it is a sound effect, and not a hardware failure.
Do you have any unusual 3rd party plugins or pref panes? One I wondered about was StickyWindows, which has all kinds of fancy effects.
