beeped
Sounded a horn
Beeped is the past tense of beep, describing the short, high-pitched sound made by electronic devices, car horns, or similar sources.
If your phone beeped, it emitted a brief tone, usually as an alert or notification.
You can also beep someone by honking at them or paging them: She beeped at the driver who cut her off.
In medical contexts, monitors that beeped were registering vital signs or alarms.
