Sometimes when racing I'll hear a alarm (sounds like a firebell ringing)
for a few seconds.  What does this signify?  Help me......

It means that you are close to getting in trouble.
I hear it all the time.

Yeah get out of the house as soon as possible!!  :-)
  Sorry I just had to do that.I haven't had that problem yet. (YET)

I know the sound you are referring to. It sounds as if the spotter is about to
give you an urgent message but then he doesn't say anything.

I tend to get it if I turn on somebody by accident

I think you will find it is a deliberate simulation of the
"real" radio interference that occurs. As a part time truck
driver I often get similar interference while communicating
with other drivers and/or the office. Same goes for the click
before and after the spotter has spoken, it part of that type
of radio communcation.
Those who know more on the subject may like to comment.

There are several sounds used for the radio on/off when your spotter
goes to say something. One of the radio on sounds, sounds like
"be-be-be" :) presumably just to simulate the odd noises that often
leak from a real driver-spotter radio.

Is this what it could be? The first time I heard it I thought it might
be a sound glitch until I looked at the .wav's in the sound data file.

It's simply the "squelch" sounds, with interference.  It is, in fact, quite
an accurate depiction of  the real thing!
