Default Audible alarm when anit lock braking?

Some times when my anti lock brakes kick in,I get this beep.Is this normal for these to do that? is it supposed to beep if loosing traction? The strange thing is,it doesnt always beep. only some times.

I believe what you are hearing is the VSC (vehicle skid control) audible
alarm.

my 2004 does not make the beeping even when VSC kicks in. I think the beeping was adding onto the RX350

as for the antilock braking, you should here like a buzz when it is activated.

No,its definitely a beep (when it does it) it also beeps if I leave the fuel door open,or drive off with a door not fully closed.
