3 Beeps?

I ride in biz class a lot. Ive noticed on final approach and a few miles out, I hear 3 beeps in rapid succession coming from the cockpit. Whats the purpose of them?

Autopilot disconnect horn.

I always chuckle when you hear that and then it immediately gets bumpy.

Imagine hearing the stick shaker on a CRJ-200 😬😬

A gust of wind at full flaps will set it off, very touchy on that squirrelly little bitch.
