If there is no window focused, Loop will play an alert sound indicating that there is no window to be resized. However, are you facing this with finder windows focused as well?

Just when there is no window focused, sorry for the confusion. I don't remember this happening before, so I thought that was introduced in one of the recent updates.

That said, I'd suggest removing the alert altogether. I don't find particularly useful (if no window is focused, nothing happens and that's that). It is also annoying to have the alert triggered every time I use a keyboard shortcut that uses the same trigger key. Ex: I use the left command key to trigger Loop keybinds, which means that the alert sound is triggered every time I invoke spotlight (command + space) and a few other shortcuts that uses the left command key.

Actually, that makes a lot of sense. Even a visual indicator on top of the radial menu indicating that there's not a focused window makes more sense than producing sound!

I use Spotlight dozens of times a day, and getting the alert sound every time was getting pretty annoying. For now I've turned its volume all the way down. Looking forward to a fix soon :)
