Has anyone been woke up at 2:30 in the morning from this anti-virus software
though your computer speakers?

No. If you go into avast settings/sounds, you can disable all sounds, or
use advanced and just disable automatic update sounds, which is the one I
would suspect at that time if you aren't present doing anything.

No, but it has given me a start from time to time .. only now the computer
running Avast! has been switched to Grisoft AVG so it doesn't happen
anymore.

When I'm done using the computer, I turn it off. No problem with
Hibernation, sleep or other issues.

Yes;
you'd think the Avast people would be smart enough
to disable sounds by default.
