The shift light comes on under light to moderate load to tell you when to shift for best fuel economy. This is not related to the buzzer.

The buzzer only comes on when you hit redline (7 or 8k RPM), have low oil, or have low coolant.

First thing to do is check the oil and coolant levels, as well as bleed any air out of the coolant system. Acceleration will shift the fluids around.
