Have you checked the actual horn button? Like in my old camry, I got mad at my GF while driving and hit the steering wheel. It wouldn't stop beeping either. Luckily I had some tools with and took off the cover and fixed it.

Oh my bad, I thought you meant it was your horn. Are there any warning lights on or do your warning lights even work?

Sounds like your low coolant level warning. Add some water or coolant.

Just start humming incessantly at the same pitch as the beep. In a couple of weeks you wont even notice the car beeping. Seriously though, it could be any number of things. Go through them all one by one.

This is often an issue with the speedometer cable. Check this thread:

I can't believe that no one has answered this yet.

The beeping is the error code from the power steering computer.

How many beeps before it pauses and starts over?
