The sound is the same as the one you hear when you plug in and unplug a USB device. It beeps when I approach the laptop and leave it and also sometimes when I move in front of it. This is an ASUS, model G73JH.

What you are experiencing is the ASUS SmartLogon feature. It is a facial recognition feature that logs in for you and logs out automatically.
Here is the link to the ASUS SmartLogon user guide:

I can't believe the folks at Asus did know about this. The strange thing is that when I disconnected my logitech trackman wheel mouse the sound stops. Also when I replace that mouse with a another similar mouse I have no beeps. – Tom – 2011-05-28T04:38:44.577
Sounds like you have it set for puppy emulation mode. :-) – fixer1234 – 2016-09-07T16:57:38.317
3Possibly there's some software involved doing facial recognition on the webcam to enable/disable functionality of the machine if a user isn't present? I know new ThinkPads have an app that'll lock the machine down if you walk away. – Shinrai – 2011-05-26T19:47:37.717
