3 'beeps' from car while driving

Hi,
So i'm new on here so be gentle!
Had a 2006 3.0d Sport for a couple weeks now. It has satnav & comms pack (bluetooth).

Anyway my question is - when i'm driving i occasionally get 3 beeps from the car, thinking about when i hear this could it be an alarm for cameras (red light &/or speed)?
Can't find anything in the handbook so any help/ideas would be greatly appreciated.

And yes, i've posted a hello in the newbies section.
Cheers,
Marty.

Bollox!!!
I knew it was gonna be a simple one, but didn't expect that.
I must be at the same crossroads every day on the hour! & those lights have a camera.
When it beeped at the wife (at the same crossroads) she thought it was the car telling her she was cornering too fast!! I didn't ask how fast she was going!!!

Quick typing guys.

Cheers,
Marty.

Ha ha,
maybe we've not got as much confidence in the 'reliability' of our BM's as we should have.
Hear a beep - 'bugger, summat must be broken!'.
Cheers,
Marty.

Or you have the speed limit set at something low, say 100 mph, and you exceed that regularly :D
