I was playing destiny 2 while my computer beeped 3 times, it didn't come from the computer, it came from my headphones.. It's not the first time it's done this but it's pretty annoying.. I'll try to describe the beeps the best i can: 
"beep (pause for like half a second) and then 2 beeps after that" also all the beeps are short. it's the same sound as if sticky keys are turning on, but at the time i wan't pressing anything. I wasn't paying attention to my temps so i have no clue if it was overheating or not. Thanks in advance.

It it like a ding - dong dong ?
That's a Windows Notification, check your Notification Center to see if there's anything there.

Alternatively turning the system sounds in the volume mixer to 0 will solve any annoying Windows noises you may encounter while gaming.

Oh, there's your problem. It's an acer :D


By looking at your taskbar Icons, I'll take a good guess that this is the bloated Win10 that comes preloaded on the laptop and not a fresh copy? 
I recommend backing up your Win10 product key and giving it a good format and reload Windows 10 from the iso provided from windows here

 

That goes for any new laptop, but Acers are especially bad for having bloat that cause major issues like this.

 

I've only ever encountered this tone of beep myself during a system hang, where everything locks up and you try to click a million buttons and click a bunch of times only for it to all happen at once 5-20 seconds later, beeping a few times from being overwhelmed I assume.

This too happened on a crappy acer laptop for me, but I sold it to a friend before I ever got around to wiping it and reinstalling Windows from scratch. 

 

First thing I'd recommend is running a checkdisk.

Easiest way to do this is right click the C drive in explorer, click properties, go to the tools tab and select "Check" under error checking, it'll likely make you reboot to do this process. 
But idealy, just back up any media you have to either a cloud service or an external drive and just wipe the damn thing with a fresh copy of Windows. Those Acer laptops are already underpowered as it is, removing the bloat that is included will go a long way to speeding up an already low-mid class laptop.

sorry, i should have mentioned, thats not my video or laptop, it just something i found on the interwebs to describe the sound. (also the taskbar is pretty good for being acer, they are usually way worse, i just had to throw that in there)

 

I actually have an Alienware Aurora R6 with an AMD Radeon RX 560 graphics card, and an Intel i5-7400 CPU.
it's like the beep is a warning for something but im not sure what, overheating maybe? i was looking at my temps and everything was fine.
 

im waiting to get another hardrive and backup some of my stuff, then im gonna reset my pc but im not sure when im going to do that.
