Oh, that’s amazing. I got curious and found this comment on youtube, sharing in case it may help or diagnose:

Battle Angel Sorry, not sure why I didn't share previously. So, I believe this is caused by using a non-HDMI cable with the audio out turned on. Either turn the audio in the display off completely in the settings, or use a new HDMI cable. The alarm is a result of the display trying to send an audio signal through a Displayport cable. Are those of you getting this alarm using Displayport cables? They do not pair audio with video, as HDMI does. I hope this fixes your problem.

This is so great! I've been looking for a solution to no avail but I have not seen that one. Yes I use DP cable. I'll try that. Thank you so much!
