That "box" is, as you correctly guessed, a computer. It is your PCM (powertrain control module) to be exact. As for a "beeping" noise, you've got me stumped. I wasn't even aware that a PCM had the ability to make noise. Perhaps someone else will have some more helpful insight.

The PCM makes a "Beep" sound normally. What's prbably happening is that you haven't noticed it before but they do generally make a whining sound. It's really nothing to be worried about unless it's really prominent during normal operation. Otherwise, disregard it.

Yeah I usually hear it making a high pitch sound when I turn the car off. I never noticed it before but I know there is nothing wrong. But I have never heard a BEEP sound.hmmmm.

Well it's not really a beep. It's a whine.
