warning beep
Sound signaling danger
A warning beep is a short electronic tone alerting someone to a problem or required action.
Devices emit warning beeps for low batteries, open doors, unbuckled seatbelts, or system errors.
The sound is designed to be attention-getting without being as alarming as a full alarm: The microwave's warning beep told me my food was ready.
