You're not being hacked, nor is someone scanning your device. This is a SCAM message designed to trick you into buying tools/software you don't need for an issue you don't have. Whatever site or app you were using at the time delivered the message. I would delete the app or game you were using.
Its a game that you are playing that is using an Ad campaign that plays music (in your case 2 beeps) using the Music Player and the name of the track is called "Scanning your Device". Any app can add a song/sound to play using the Music Player. The game should be easily identifiable as the sound will be added to the Music Player while you are playing the game.
What to do if my my iPhone showing as “scanning your device”?
