Aliens

Answer 3

Not sure, maybe MUFON can help. Maybe not.

Answer 4

Maybe a Buoy off somewhere?  It was probably further away, and the shifting currents of the wind affected the way the sound carried.

Or... maybe the beach's batteries were low, and needed recharging?

It could be someone using a metal detector.. bc it beeps faster when you are closer to the metal object and slower when you are far away from a metal object. and also you have to move aroound alot when you're searching for stuff... thats what i think it could be... hope it helps!
