peer agreement (net): +1peeping / beeping sound Explanation: Jim Breen defines it as a 'peeping sound (like a small bird)'. In this case, it's probably a fairly high pitched, repetitive beeping sound. HTH. |

peer agreement (net): +1three beeping sound Explanation: I have a feeling that the significance is that there are three beeps because saying ピーピーピッ is not a usual way to just to refer to any beeping sound; it sounds more like a transliteration of the real sound. |

continuous beeping Explanation: I am not suggesting a different answer to those previously submitted, but my sense is that the question was whether the onomatopaeia refers to beeping or perhaps the sound of someone walking on a treadmill, like a whirring sound. Beeping was my opinion as well. But again, the beauties of context. |
