Odd Beeping Sound on Startup Aspire 7

My Acer Aspire 7 does a beeping sound on startup. After a little research I found 2 similar topics, none of which describes my problem.
1) It is NOT the usual windows 11 startup sound. My laptop's beeping sound is different and sounds like something's wrong with the hardware.
2) My laptop does actually complete the startup and I can use it normally. Nothing seems to be wrong, except the short sound which beeps for about a second every time when it boots up.
Oddly enough, it doesn't always come from the speakers either. When I have headphones plugged in, it plays through the headphones. It might be nothing serious and maybe I shouldn't be worried but I still figured I'd rather ask around before it suddenly stops working. Sorry that I have no way of describing the sound.
What could it be?

    On the Insyde bios beep codes of your Aspire 7 one short beep code is not applicable as any default beep, the usual Insyde beep codes are far more than just 1 short beep (see the default codes for the Insyde bios beep codes caption below). So don't worry as it could be an unrelated sound, best is to update the bios to the last bios version of your Aspire 7's laptop model but be very careful as "Upgrading your system BIOS incorrectly could harm your Acer product. Please proceed with caution" and see if that fixes this sound problem. As there are no specific beep sounds that should be coming from your laptop.
