beep

A beep is a short and loud sound.

When we talk about a beep, we often think of the noise that comes from electronic devices like computers or cars. For example, when your computer needs your attention, it might make a beep to tell you that something has happened. Your phone might also beep if you have a text message or an incoming call. Sometimes, beeps are used in games or puzzles to signal success or failure, like when you get a question right or run out of time. Beep is often used as a way to get our attention quickly and quietly, without being too loud or distracting.
