I often hear a notification sound, but I have no clue where it comes from. If it is from an opened tab on Safari, why can't Safari point me to the right one?

Original Title: Notification sounds, but where does it come from
MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 15.5
Quit Safari as IdrisSeabright wrote.
If the mysterious sounds persist quit all remaining open apps (use the "App Switcher" keyboard shortcut and quit each app in turn until only the Finder remains):
If that doesn't help restart your Mac in "Safe Mode" and let it run overnight while in that mode.
Still no resolution? Consider running EtreCheck and posting its report in a reply to this Discussion. Instructions: How to use the Add Text Feature When Posting Large Amounts of Text, i.e. an Etrecheck Report - Apple Community
So, it's not Safari after all. Our gracious Moderators didn't do you any favors by retitling your question.

Refer to this excerpt from Stop unwanted Notifications - Apple Community:
You can probably identify the offending website in that first screenshot. If you wish to continue, read below.
When you are finished, it should look like this:

Are you suggesting that I no longer use Safari?
No, I'm suggesting you close Safari in order to test what happens when it is not running. Once you've tested it overnight, you can restart the app in the morning.
Close each website tab until you find the culprit.
Ok, but that was not what I suggested. Close the website tab. Not the lid.
The computer sounded a notification at about 3 AM while I had been in bed for about 5 hours. Yes, the lid was closed the whole time.
Now, that I'm using the computer for the first 2 minutes, I have heard the notification sound about half a dozen time with no notification in sight. Actually, it is sounding every few seconds. I just quit the weather app. A T-storm warn is in effect. Who knows?
I have closed all my Safari tab, except for this forum.
I got to hear that same notification beep at 3 am even though I was not using the computer.
There's a T-storm right now, and it is almost constantly beeping. I have tried to remove Severe Weather notifications of Mac Weather app, but no change. It's embarrassing!
The T-storm has finally passed (it is now sunny), and so is the frequent beeping.
So far, I would say, I think it might very well be related to the Mac Weather app forecasting locally, here in Canada. We've had a lot of T-storms lately.
I will nonetheless try your suggestion overnight.
Quitting Safari did not help in any way.
If I keep the weather app closed for a while, the beeping goes away. It's been about an hour so far. No more super annoying random beeping! Yes, I did disable "Play sound for notifications" in settings, but that made no difference.
I suspect it is stock.adobe.com, but not sure yet.
There are no websites listed for notifications. And that doesn't prefer this from happening.
About 5 seconds after I closed the lid, I heard the familiar sound.
Sure, but at the moment, I need show website tabs. I closed the lid because I went to lunch.
Sure, but at the moment, I need show website tabs.
I don't understand what that means.
Sorry, I meant, I need the opened tabs for now.
