Macbook Pro 2020 make a beeping noise like an alarm. Four beeps several times.

I have a brand new Macbook Pro 2020. Everyonce in awhile it makes an alarm type noise of four beeps ongoing. It comes out of the the computer's speaker, not the motherboard area. I am able to mute the speakers and it will be silenced. But if I unmute, it will be heard again. And eventually after about 20 seconds it will stop. I have reinstalled Catalina and that didn't help.

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 10.15

Figured it out. Deep inside OBS Studio I had a Google alarm that was running in the background. So when I started it even though the alarm wasn’t in Preview or Program it still ran.


thanks.

Hey there CElston7388,


We understand you're hearing an unexpected beeping on your new MacBook Pro. We'll be happy to help.


To help us isolate the issue, we'd like to have you create a new test user account. This will let us know if the issue is system-wide or isolated to your user account. Reference the steps here: Set up users, guests, and groups on Mac

If this is only happening in one account, it may be related to a start up program.


Let us know how that goes or if you have any questions. Cheers!
