Default Constant beeping sound?

Yesterday, my 2007 just started beeping. It's not exactly constant, but it isn't rare either. It's intermittant but frequent. It sounds similar to the beep when I touch my screen, but it is coming from the left front of the dash.

I unplugged my cell, ipod and left them at home. i swapped my fob for my DH's...no avail.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Any warning lights come on the dash? Seatbelt? Did you leave something heavy on the passenger seat? Does it do it every trip, or just sometimes?

Have you changed the battery in your fob. A weak battery will cause the car to beep.

Passenger seat empty. No warning lights. It is not the seatbelt sound. That is a different beep than the one I heard yesterday.

The new beep sounds like someone is touching the screen over and over and over very fast.

It is doing it every trip. But just started yesterday.

Repeatedly, even if the car is off?

I left my fob at home and traded it for my husbands because i thought that it might be the fob. Still beeping.

The beep with a weak fob battery will usually occur at shutdown. Do you have a cell phone or pager in the car that has a message waiting? Been there, done that.

No. I took all of the electrical equipment out of my car.
It's empty. Still beeps.

How about the Maintenance Required alarm? Has it been close to 5000 miles since it was last reset?

No. It's good there.

I realized that I didn't tell you all the # of beeps. In a 10 minute drive, it's probably 100 beeps.

You got me ... I haven't heard of that one before. Have you noticed if the Passenger Airbag light comes on when a beep occurs?
