unidentified alert sound: 4 very low 'sighs'?

Show all headers | View raw

A number of times I have now heard my macbook pro (MacBookPro9,2)
make this sound without being able to identify
- what causes it
- what it means

The sound is a set of 4 very low (pitch) sighs, each starting
low, then getting lower in the space of about .8 seconds.
They start about 1 second apart.

The signal does not repeat usually, so it is hard/impossible
to capture it.

I have looked at all the sound configurations I can find and played
them all but it's not listed there. (system, growl etc)

Has anyone heard this before?

Is there maybe a database somewhere that contains
sounds not only to listen to but also by some form of description
to that one have a change of identifying such a sound one has
no recording or such of?

thanks
