Continual beeping from your MacBook Air typically indicates a hardware issue or a problem with the system's firmware. The cause of the beeping can vary depending on the model and the number of beeps you're hearing.
Here are some common reasons why your MacBook Air might be beeping continually:
1. Low Battery: If your MacBook Air's battery is running low, it may beep to warn you.
2. RAM issues: Continuous beeping can occur if there's an issue with your MacBook's RAM. If the RAM isn't properly installed, it can cause the MacBook to beep repeatedly.
3. Overheating: If your MacBook Air is overheating, it may beep continuously to warn you. Overheating can cause damage to your MacBook's internal components, so it's important to address this issue quickly.
4. Hardware issue: Continuous beeping can also indicate a problem with your MacBook's hardware, such as a malfunctioning processor, motherboard, or hard drive.
5. Firmware issue: In some cases, a firmware issue can cause your MacBook to beep repeatedly. This could be caused by a corrupted system file or a problem with the computer's firmware.
If you're not sure why your MacBook Air is beeping, you can try resetting the SMC (System Management Controller) and PRAM (Parameter Random Access Memory) by following the steps on the Apple support website. If the beeping persists after resetting these settings, it's best to take your MacBook Air to an authorized repair center to diagnose and fix the problem.

Got it taken care of. Thanks.
Just had to shutdown and unplug everything for a few minutes, not seconds, as some suggested.
