Question 2011 Outlander 4 cyl/CVT FWD BEEPING when cranked up

Our 2011 Outlander SE started to make this beep when cranked up.
It faint, only 3 short "dings" and the info screen shows nothing.
I don't know what it is. I thought it was the batteries in the factory keyless remotes or something.
It also did it when I hit the brakes really hard to slow real quick.
Is it because (only 40,100 miles on it) the brake fluid is lower because the front brakes need to be replaced (they don't sound off it's just I can tell braking is more difficult now, so I know it would need a brake job done, pedal has to be pushed in further).
I know the sound when you unfasten your seat belt and the red icon comes up on the dash, it's not that.
Just 3 short beeps.
Where can I find out what the "beep" codes relate too?
Thanks

If it's cold out it could be the icy road warning... (If it's 3c/37f or below) It shows on the screen for a second or two but then goes away completely.

I have never had a ding when ABS kicks in nor when TCS is active and the seatbelt ding keeps going and going and going.

OK I FINALLY figured it out
It was NOT the vehicle......
My dumbass forgot I put on one of those Progressive Insurance monitors for 6 months (to get a discount on car insurance) under the dash on the OBD port....
IT is making the clicking sound when IT thinks you hit the brakes too hard or accelerate too fast or when you crank it up......
So just kinda forget the post........question solved...as per my stupidity....not remembering....

My rate will go up because I switched from 21st Century Insurance to Progressive....saved about $500/6 months. Paid in full $1220/6 months for full coverage 2 vehicles/$500 ded/Uninsured-non stack. GREAT!
Then 4 days later got a hit and run on my F150 in a parking lot WITH 3 City of Miami Police cars in the lot/patrolling also and NO ONE SAW A THING. Truck been in stealership body shop almost 3 weeks now. So I know my rate will go up in 6 months because the estimate was over $2000 to fix my truck when I took it in and already had a few supplements for rear bumper/etc.

Do hit and run claims raise your premium?

yes, they will.......
it is a database the insurance companies use called CLUE
I am sure it will go up.
They want to make money (think bail out and A.I.G.) not spend it to use on us poor working people to do anything for us.
