It beeps like that when you try to downshift into a gear where you're above the redline of the gear you're trying to shift into. Won't let you do it.

It also beeps when the engine is cold and u try to downshift into 2 to early. I think that is what is happening. To protect the engine, it won't let u rev that early in the morning.
