The beeps are generated (by the radio) when it 'thinks' the signal being recieved has finished, like a 'clear to send' request. Due to our really patchy coverage here in the UK, I experience many 'beeps' from the repeaters stream, while it drops in and out of range, it has nothing to do with what you are listening to, so same with simplex.

The beeps are just an indication that signal has dropped, and a configurable feature on some of the rigs to turn it off or change its volume level from the speaker. The information shown on the SCREEN however, is the actual "notification" about what the system thinks is going on.
