Difficult to make any sensible suggestion without knowing what the beeps
sound like. Is it possibly the sounder which can be enabled to give an
audible indication when the door locks/alarm are set? Perhaps some
strange interaction between the reversing light circuitry and the alarm
sounder???

Could be an audible alarm that's supposed to alert anybody finding
themselves behind your car when you engage "R". This is a standard feature
on all trucks here in Norway, and is getting common on regular cars as well.
Sometimes this feature is installed by replacing the reverse-light bulbs
with a special bulb that includes both the light and the alarm - sure you
don't have one of these installed?

That wouldn't explain it happening only intermittently (by which I
presume that Jimbo means that it doesn't happen everytime), or only four
beeps - surely the reverse beeper would continue until the car is taken
out of reverse gear.

Ooops. Didn't notice 'intermittent'...
