Q: Why does my mac beep constantly for no reason?

My mac beeps constantly for no reason. It will be fine for a couple of days, and then it starts beeping again. It beeps more than three times, does not happen at startup, and seems to come in bursts, and still happens when the audio is muted. What can I do?

MacBook Air, Mac OS X (10.7.5)

Take it to an Apple Store or AASP (Authorized Apple Service Provider) and have it evaluated...

Be sure to make an appointment first...

I am currently not able to do this, is there any way to fix this myself?

Choose the method for:

Best.

This didn't work, it seems to be somewhat quieter though. It appears to start whenever I start a youtube video for some reason, does that have anything to do with it?
