Default Help... beeping killing me

2001 base, manual, 140k miles. I just got her today... all went well on the test drive, no warning lights DIC messages, no beeps.
after I bought it on the 2 hour drive home I was getting a lot of beeps thru the speakers.. like warning beeps. The radio would stop playing during the beeps and then start again when beeps stopped While it was beeping I had no warning lights or messages.
it did it almost all way home. Didn’t matter what speed, moving or sitting still. It ran fine, no power lose or anything.
fuel tank was full, nothing in passenger seat... I have searched here and google with no clear ideas on cause.
anyone else have this issue? Thanks

Not factory. Look for aftermarket BS added, and kill it.

I've been on this Forum for nearly 18 years and this is the first time I've heard of beeping through the stereo.
Let us know what you find. Best wishes.

I'm willing to bet that's the source of the beeping.

My FM Bluetooth thing beeped and cut the stereo out when it did, sometimes it did it repeatedly.
