System randomly freezes and makes a sound loop

So I am using Arch for at least a few months. It's great but I had a not so tiny problem and I still have it. After some time my system freezes and makes a sound loop, it's very annoying and I loose productivity because of it. Here are my specs:
1. CPU: Core2Duo E6550
2. Graphics: Nvidia GT430 with non-free drivers on X.org of course
3. RAM: 4Gb of DDR2 at 800 MhZ
4. WM: Xmonad
5. Audio Driver: Pipewire (100% not the case because it happened with pulse too)
6. Kernel: 5.11.4-arch

Well the problem can appear anytime, when I watch something, when I have an online meeting (Google meet unfortunately), When I just listen to music etc. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

After a reboot from the failing situation (... or if you can from an ssh session during the freezing situation) check/post

sudo journalctl -b-1 #Drop the -1 to access the current active boot if from an SSH session
