Chrome, Gmail mail page, strange background activity

I suppose most people don't use system sounds so they do not
hear programs opening and closing, but...

Recently, there is a perpetual opening and closing of some
process whenever I have the Gmail mail page open in Chrome.
Repeats every one or two seconds.

Only on the mail page. I can still be signed in to Google while
using YouTube with no such annoyance, so long as the Gmail mail
page is closed.

It is probably some recent installation or configuration.
Hopefully it is not permanent.

I can imagine someday in Windows when background processes will
continuously open and close with no user action. Not looking
forward to that.

Is the activity visible in Sysinternals Process Monitor ?

I looked in Task Manager, sorted by CPU usage. Seems to pop up
as another Chrome process. Difficult to see what's happening.

I will keep that in mind. While doing another installation,
maybe I can pick up when it started. The workaround is to keep
the mail page closed. No big deal since my smartphone usually
alerts for mail.

Thanks.

Did a reinstallation, still had opening and closing of some process
while in Gmail, every second or two. Fiddled with the setting for
notification of unauthorized/suspicious sign-in to my Google account
and the opening and closing process sounds appear to be gone.
