I'd say the second answer from 'just askin' is close to the mark.
The audible alarm you can occassionally hear is just that - an alarm or warning that your CPU is getting uncomfortably warm. It is likely other components, partcularly your graphics card are starting to fry too...
Ensure good circulation around the case and don't have it placed near radiators or similar, that's just asking for trouble.
As has been pointed out, dusk is often a cause or factor in overheating, clogging up the fans and so force. Pretty much, your computer is a hoover for airborn dust... Naturally the more houseproud you (or your parents) the less often this is an issue, vacuuming up and all that.
Usual rules apply when cleaning inside you case:
Ensure it is turned off and unplugged.
Ideally earth yourself with an antistatic band.
You can get the worst of the dust bunnies out with a small paintbrush, then use compressed air canisters (for PC's) to blow the rest out.
(Don't use the extension on your vacuum cleaner to suck the dust out - no really, that's a really bad idea!)
PC World or any good computer dealer will have these basis items

Most PC's these days have an alarm to indicate when your PC is getting close to overheating. Sometimes there is a setting in BIOS where you can disable that or increase the temperature, but you may want to double check your fans if this just started...also, running the PC in a non-airconditioned room or in a tightly cramped computer desk can cause it to generate more heat that usual...

Is there a blue light flashing at the same time? If so, pull over, act innocent, and don't breathe in to the bag!

It letting the authorities know what you are doing. There is a problem with it and should be fixed. It should send the information without making any noise (like everyone elses) BEWARE. THEY ARE WATCHING YOU!!!

it is most likely what is called a system speaker which is a tiny little speaker inside your computer... the motherboard inside uses beep codes to tell technicians if everthing is ok or ifs something is messed up... my guess is that your system in OK...
