It's your power steering computer making that noise. I've had it on a couple of cars. If you want to keep power steering, then try cleaning all of the connections with electric contact cleaner, you may need to resolder the connections on the computer. It's under your steering wheel column. You will also need to clean you connections on the power steering pump. If none of this works. change you power steering pump.
If you don't want to keep it, remove you pump and don't forget to remove the computer.

well when he reads the FAQ for Fc at the top of the section, it will tell him exactly what the problem is based on the number of the beeps.

Just redoing connections or replacing parts is not a very smart approach when the power steering computer has built in diagnostics.
