Default Wierd Beeping Sound! HeLp!

so i was driving around today after watching some racing movie and i decided to give my car a little more gas then usual, popped the sucka into 3rd and gunned her till the redline, car sounded as if it choked a bit and all the sudden this beeping noise appeared!

when i drive it now it seems to beep in low rpm's (up to 4.5) and then once i hit 5 rpms and drive like that it stops the beeping, then when i go down again it continues the beeping, drove around with the beep for about 10 mins after the redlinage so i don't think anything busted? or maybe it did

if anyone had a similar situation and can help me out by letting me know what happened and what to do that would be great!

thanks for taking the time!

Usually beeping comes with an oil light or a brake light.

I was gonna say, that sounds like an oil light beep. I have a slow leak (actually three slow leaks ) and if i corner hard near my oil change interval when the motor's down about a quart, I get a blinky oil light and the beeps you're talking about. Maybe your oil light is just burned out?

yea see now i drove it for 10 mins and no beeping, i dont know, but i do know i have a small power steering pump leak, too lazy to change the pump since i did it once already, but i dont know, i was driving like an idiot once the beep occurred, sharp turning very high revs and stuff like that.

Could be low oil pressure if the baffles aren't working, as you go around corners. Don't know how they would fail though.
