Just noticed over the last 2 days a gentle beeping sound which repeats for a short time, then goes, and wondered what it could be as nothing pops up on the dash; any idea's plz?
 
have you got some extra kit like a bluetooth fitted ?

edit: the car is pre-facelift ?
 
as far as I know, it doesn't have one, but comes on in series on beeps, so, unsure why; will try my tablet in it tomorrow and see if it picks up anything! The car's on a 53 plate.
 
are you sure the handbrake is not left on or its thinking its on. You get a beeping from that also when driving and engaged
 
I always disengage the brakes, and no red light displays, although it does work!
 
It's not the engine-off+keys out of ignition+door open sound is it? You know to make sure you don't leave your lights on. If a sensor/switch somewhere is faulty, it could be triggering this perhaps?

your's is pre-facelift, so it doesn't come with bluetooth as standard, I just wondered if a previous owner had fitted something somewhere along those lines

Is the beeping the same as when you drive without having a seatbelt on?
maybe the seatbelt sensor is knackered (along the lines of Steve's post)

reasonable hypothesis
 
got me thinking about what's changed recently to possibly cause this issue, and I had my 2 key fobs reprogrammed last weekend, so perhaps whatever the locksmith did, has caused this?
 
after further investigation, I found the answer; it was the SatNav GPS 'Alert' function which was set to alert me when I was in my postcode area even though I had the SatNav unit turned off; anyway, turned it off in settings, and no more beeping!
