Beeping - when turning right

Kind Peoplz
Today when travelling locally max 60kph and less, there is an audible but quite faint beeping when turning right and when going over speed bumps or rough sections of road.

Sound system is OFF.
GPS - NOT on or connected
Ipod and adaptor not plugged in or on
Air conditioning OFF
DSP ON

This not any of the normal alarms and no warnig lights come on.
Fuel 1/3 full not loaded, except for driver and passenger

Two people read manual - We do not have a clue as to what may be causing it.
2004, auto, 40k klms
Any ideas???

Thanks

Peoplz,
Thanks for the feed back and effort of thought re beeping.

I can now confidently report that after much research, manual reading by all involved, asking dealers, posts to various forums and a great deal of driving (good excuse to just go driving ) and testing, the area of the problem has been determined.

As I am lazy, and forgetful, the cause did not readily present itself with out the necessary amount of driving and testing alluded to above

But with the great assistance of the better half and persistance as a team we found the cause.

My left hip and the belt mounted device with out its key pad locked, the mobile phone.
