Weird Redline Beep

Sorry, but I'm new with my FC. But upon driving it for the first time today from fixing it, my car sometimes randomly sounds the redline beep continuously until i let off the gas and let the rpms drop much lower than it is, or whenever I shift to neutral from what i've found. I was only cruising at 3-4k rpm, so I'm confused.

It should do that to tell you to shift to a higher gear for optimal milage while cruising. At least that's what I've come to understand it as and I'm sure if I'm wrong someone will correct me

the S4's have a shift light to tell you to shift for optimum efficiency, but to my knowledge the buzzer should only sound at redline. Why its buzzing otherwise could be coolant or oil related.

I checked my gauges. My oil was at a good level, and the engine temperature was at a good level as well.

Yeah my buddies S4 did it. It wasn't a light, the shift buzzer went off and stayed until the rpms dropped or full throttle was applied. His sometimes went off randomly too, funny ****
