That could be an issue with charging. Is the device on the charging cable when this happens?


Usually repeated beeps while connected to a charger indicate your iPad is disconnecting from the charge and then reconnecting itself. There are several reasons this may happen. Try out these steps:


  1. Try a different charger. Make sure you're using a certified Apple charger: Identify counterfeit or uncertified Lightning connector accessories. If you don't experience the same issue when using a different charger, there may be a problem with the charger itself and not your iPad.
  2. Check your charging cable and USB adapter for signs of damage, like breakage or bent prongs.
  3. Charger your iPad in a wall outlet. If you're already charging via a wall outlet, try a different one.
  4. Check your charging port for dirt and debris. Clean your charging port if needed: How to clean your Apple products. After that, firmly plug your charging cable into your device. 
  5. Restart your iPad


If your iPad seems to charge slow, or isn't charging at all, there are additional steps in the following resource that may be helpful: If your iPhone or iPod touch won't charge.
