Shockwave Flash Plugin Generates Beeping Sound

I am using Firefox v27.0.1 and activate the Shockwave Flash v 12.0.0.70 plugin on startup. I am running iMac os 10.9.1.

Every minute or so my computer beeps at me after I start Firefox. I have verified that if I stop the Shockwave Flash Plugin, or change the settings so that it is not activated when I start Firefox, then the beeping stops.

Thanks in advance for your help.

I have the same beeping problem but using Win 7, Firefox and Adobe Flash Player 13.0 r0.

Does anyone have an answer to this annoying problem as yet?

Point is... Shockwave and Flash are players. They play content (audio or video) that something else generates. They don't make sound or picture content on their own - they lack the API to do so. There's software (or malware) elsewhere on the system that's making the beeping sound and it's using Flash or Shockwave to do it, but the plug-in isn't the cause.
