Annoyed any neighbours? Fly/moth? Anything hanging from the rear view mirror? Dust on the sensors?

Normally on facelifts.......the horn goes off (and that is a lot louder than a loud beep!!) if intrusion is detected.
Siren goes off if battery is detected as being disconnected.

So loud beeping noise sounds like to me, knackered power sounder..........they usually beep quietly if internal battery pack is knackered.........but maybe theres summat wrong with it.

Unless your description of a loud beep is infact the horn sounding  :-/

I had this problem once and I cured it by disconecting the battery usual way and cleaned terminals and battery connectors, I reconnected the battery the usual way and it was fine after that (it may be just luck, but it may help you out)   :-?
