Macbook Air Beeping Sounds

My refurbished 13" Macbook Air has been making beep sounds every time I close it/put it to sleep. When i open it back up it shows a black screen and beeping noises. (3 beeping noises every 5 seconds) I just got a new hardware and I am not sure it it is the problem .How can I make it stop? I let it beep until the battery dies and i plug it into a power source and it turns on but I can't seem to make it stop beeping.

The 3 beeps every 5 seconds usually occurs when booting a system that has memory issues. The beeps indicate that the memory doesn't pass the power on self test the system does. I'm not familiar with that also happening around sleep, however, would recommend you take it into Apple.
