Default Beeping from under the bonnet

Howdy folks.

As you know, the car has not been used for 2 months and the battery was goosed. Bought a new one and got it fitted today and Limoncello kindly came over to help reset things with VCDS (such as tell the car it had a new battery)

Well, a high pitch beeping noise comes from the front nearside from somewhere under the bonnet and we have no idea what it is.
The car has had a tracker fitted, but I have not renewed it - if it is not this then what else could it be??

Thoughts, suggestions, ideas etc will be gladly welcomed.

Cheers

Could it be the alarm sounder? It has a rechargeable battery and may well be flat itself?

hopefully all should be well now, though you need to keep an eye on the battery level in about 2 weeks time , as you havent done the software upgrade yet
