Is this beep sound perchance the same one as when you open the door with your lights on?

It's the transformer or whatever for the EL dials making the clicking (mine did the same thing when I didn't have the power running in a circuit). If it's clicking (the little box) I'd say the circuit is being brocken somewhere. Check your wiring (use a multi meter or test light to make sure you've got and earth and lights on power) then I'd be checking the dials, I snapped the plugs on a few of mine by fitting them then turning the plugs at near 90degree angles.
Hope this helps.
