Some cars, like the Nismo R32 and AE86, have a speed warning chime that starts dinging when you go over a certain speed. Maybe that's what you're hearing?

Well it just randomly starts happening half way through a race I assumed it was warning me of something but I have no idea what and once it starts doing it, it doesn't stop and does it every 5 seconds or so its like 2 dongs quick quickly together and its really starting to annoy me 🤣

Its happened several times but its not changing gears normally does it towards the end of the race normally half way through. it done it im my r34 in the previous race but didn't do it in the race after that in the same car. Il start keeping track of which cars it does it in I just dont understand why its doing it
Its not changing gears or a speed thing as it just randomly starts doing it and doesn't always do it in the same car this is whats frustrating me 🤣🤣 il record a video of it when it does it next time so u can see and hear what I mean

The only beeping I can think of relates to the posting of sector times……. but that would be much more infrequent than every 5 seconds.

@Shroom It's the sound Kaz's cash register makes every time someone buys a car in the store. 
But seriously... Are you sure it's coming from the game? Depending on which console you have, an internet search revealed there is a problem related to the PS4's eject button that can cause it to randomly beep twice - just like you're hearing. It starts trying to eject a disc when there isn't one in it - the warning noise. Perhaps it's heat related, so it wouldn't do it all the time. You could try pressing the button to see if that is the sound. I think it can be fixed by tightening a screw or something.
Obviously if you've got a PS5 ignore the above and revert to my original comment. 🙂

With my PS4 it depends on what car i am driving as to fan noise.Some cars have no appreciable effect on fan speed and then some send it into overdrive.

I don’t think I’ve even heard the PS5 fan

To my understanding if you ever hear a PS5 fan it’s going bad, or you got one of those very early units where some tape or a tag or something came loose and is making contact with fan blades. I remember seeing that reported within a few months of PS5 launch. Had mine since day 1 and you can’t hear the fan ever unless the room is totally silent and you have your ear right up against the top/front of the console, then you hear the faintest whirring noise.
