Default Help! Mystery Beeping

Hi everyone,

Hoping someone can help me identify this mystery beeping. Here's all I know:

It's high pitched, happens intermittently, sometimes just for a second, sometimes for 10 seconds or more continuously.
-It sometimes happens when the ignition is not on, but seems to happen more when driving and over bumps.
-It's a different beep than the standard seat belt or alert beep.
-It's different than the phone pairing beep.
-It's different than the park assist beep.
-It comes from somewhere in the dash, not over the speakers.
-No alerts, lights, etc.

What I've tried:
-Opening and securely shutting every door, & the rear door.
-Tried turning traction control off.
-Checked tire pressure.

Here's a link to a short video of the beeping (ignore that the display looks flickery in the video, that's an artifact from the video not something that is visible in the car):

Thanks!

Never heard of beep like that in our 2010 RX 350. Almost sounds like you've got a carbon monoxide monitor in there.

I've heard it too. While waiting for my wife at the doctor's office. It's a very low in volume. I saw the anti-theft light flicker at the same time, so it may have something to do with that. It is quite peculiar and impossible to tell what direction it's coming from.
