Could've been the ABS / traction control. Were you in a tight turn / accelerating fast?

Sometimes the car can beep if it cannot find your key.
Maybe that could have been it.

Were you using navigation? Do you have any points on the map that use one of those icons that makes noise when you get close?

If in reverse, could be the cross traffic warning. Also could be the park assist getting a reading on flying debris ( I had this when it was snowing out and coming to stop at a light).

Along this same thought process with the sensor, the worst case scenario is a bad sensor, the best case is that the sensor may be dirty or may have been temporarily obstructed.

Same thing happened to me awhile back. I was just driving along normally - two beeps. It hasn't happened since. I had forgotten about it until now. It's difficult to pinpoint where the beep came from, but I thought it came from the center console around the radio or climate control.

Were u changing your radio station too fast? Sometimes it beeps if it can't keep up with u. Like when it's trying to switch over to HD radio and u want to change to the next preset station, it beeps twice.
