Random "dink" sounds when reconnecting a 5550 to a docking station

User frequently gets recurrent "dink" sounds when reconnecting a live Latitude 5550 to her docking station / dual monitors. This occasionally happens when she connects the laptop first-thing and then powers-on, but more typically when she hot-connects after working disconnected. Drivers and firmware are current to the best of my knowledge.

Which docking station are you connecting to? Have you tried connecting to the docking station with the system and monitors off and not hot docking?
