Inbound GV calls produce a tone like POTS call waiting tone

Using OBi110 with POTS line and Google Voice.

It seems that when the POTS line is dialed and received all is normal.
When the Google Voice number is dialed I hear a tone similar to a POTS call waiting tone with inbound calls.  Is that to differentiate between the POTS and GV incoming calls?  Is there a way to disable that tone on incoming GV calls?

Thanks, Jim

More than likely message waiting tone. Mark any unread messages to read. Note that GV sometimes buries message in unlikely places. You may need to check all your folders.

I checked for messages and texts, but nothing there.  Any other ideas?

Shale:
I don't know what you might be hearing. When you say "When the Google Voice number is dialed ", you might be more specific. Is the tone before dialing, during entering digets, after you have entered the last digits, while ringing, or what? How many beeps? Do you always hear it?

Nodistortion:
As incoming Google Voice calls are picked up/answered a "call waiting" tone is heard. It happens every time a incoming Google voice call is picked up.
