Your car may beep when you lock it to confirm that it's securely locked. Several reasons might cause additional beeps: a door or trunk might be ajar, the key fob battery could be low, or there might be an issue with the car's alarm system. Check all doors and the trunk, replace the key fob battery if it’s getting weak, and refer to your vehicle's manual for more detailed troubleshooting steps.
