Your system has a BIOS (EFI) which has firmware on it. During the OS update it is often updated as well. During that process it likely got corrupted. The reason your system is beeping is the check sum of the firmware is wrong. Its designed to do this when its bad. The Mac I am using is an old, white plastic, Core 2 Duo version. The 'about this mac' section in OS/X says it's an 'Macbook 7,1' whatever that means and the Firmware (Namely EFI) is up to date. I updated the Ram on the aforementioned Mac.

Sometimes you'll turn your Mac on and it'll start beeping in a variety of patterns. Here's a short list of what each beeping pattern means:
- 1 tone repeating every 5 seconds:
When you start your Mac, it will automatically run system diagnostics. If you hear this pattern of beeping, it means that the Mac could not find any RAM installed. Either your computer's memory was removed or something is interfering with the system checkup.
- 3 successive tones followed by a 5-second pause:

- 1 long tone if you hold down the power button:
This indicates that an EFI ROM update is in progress. This only happens on computers manufactured before 2012.
- A successive sequence of 3 long tones, 3 short tones, 3 long tones, etc.:
This means that your computer has detected an EFI ROM corruption and the computer is in EFI ROM recovery mode. Newer models recover automatically from a corrupted ROM. When this occurs, a progress bar appears on the screen during ROM recovery mode. While on this mode, you should not shut down or disturb the computer in any way until it completes the OS X boot.
For all of the tones on boot up we discuss above, you should look into contacting Apple tech support since they all indicate you're your computer could be in dire need of maintenance.
User-Induced Tones
You can also cause your Mac to produce tones, usually with certain key combinations. These key combinations will initiate some operation upon start-up. These are a few of those combinations:
- Shift ⇧
Start up in safe mode.
- Option ⌥
Launch Startup Manager.
- C
Start up from a bootable CD, DVD, or USB drives.
- D

It's always important to know how to differentiate between user induced sounds and system sounds, as they can indicate a hardware or software failure on your Mac.
Although Apple has made much of the fact that macOS 10.12 Sierra includes the Siri voice-driven personal assistant technology, there is one glaring omission: the capability to hail Siri with just your voice. Instead, you must click Siri's menu bar icon or Dock icon, or press its keyboard shortcut.
That shouldn't be necessary: on recent iPhones and the 9.7-inch iPad Pro, and on the Apple Watch, you can just say 'Hey Siri' to cause Siri to take notice of your next spoken command. (With older iOS devices, 'Hey Siri' works only when the device is connected to power, rendering it significantly less useful. With the Apple TV, you must press and hold a button on the Siri Remote, which can be difficult to do in a dark room.)
Happily, there is a subtle trick you can use to simulate 'Hey Siri' on a Mac running Sierra. I've based these instructions on the coverage of Siri in Scholle McFarland's 'Sierra: A Take Control Crash Course' book — it provides a slew of additional tips, tricks, and step-by-step illustrated instructions if you're looking for more help with Siri or other new features in Sierra.
Scholle's trick revolves around using a dictation feature to open Siri on your command. Follow these steps:
- Go to System Preferences > Keyboard > Dictation. Turn Dictation on and then select Use Enhanced Dictation.
If it hasn't already, your Mac downloads Enhanced Dictation, which enables you to use dictation, even when your Mac is offline. That's not actually what we care about, but eliminating the need to parse your words on Apple's servers also lets you use dictation commands and converts your words to text more quickly, and those features are key.
- Switch to System Preferences > Accessibility. Scroll down in the left-hand column and select Dictation.
Select Enable the Dictation Keyword Phrase and then type
Heyinto the text field.Click the Dictation Commands button, select the Enable Advanced Commands checkbox, and then click the plus button. Options appear to the right of the dialog. Next to 'When I say,' type
Siriinto the text field. Leave While Using set to Any Application.Click the Perform pop-up menu and choose Open Finder Items. In the dialog that appears, navigate to the Siri app in the Applications folder.
Click Done.
Try it out by saying 'Hey Siri!' and your Mac should respond. There's no option for training Siri to recognize your voice in Sierra, so you'll need to practice a little to figure out how to speak so your Mac understands that you're talking to it. In particular, pause for a beat after you say 'Hey Siri' until your Mac beeps to indicate that it's listening.
One problem with setting up 'Hey Siri' as we've done here is that if your iPhone is in range, it will likely answer as well. Although Siri talking to Siri can be amusing, it will likely get on your nerves. To avoid this, you can change either the voice trigger for your Mac, in Step 3 above, or the name in the 'When I say' field in Step 4. Christmas danger mac os.

Obviously, you can use whatever you like, but my recommendation is 'Hey Mac.' Assuming that you're using 'Hey Siri' on your iPhone, iPad Pro, or Apple Watch already, keeping 'Hey' as the trigger will make it easy to start issuing a voice command regardless of what device you're using, and continuing to talk to 'Mac' should be intuitive, given that you are talking to your Mac. 'Hey Mac' is also short and easy to say, and it should be easily recognized. If your Mac doesn't recognize you saying it, though, don't hesitate to try other triggers or names. If you have more general trouble, make sure your microphone is selected in System Preferences > Sound > Input and restart your Mac to give it a clean slate.
