strange beeps when booting

When I turn on my PC it sounds like a Poilce Siren in England. Alternating tones/beeps. I don't know if this is a power supply issue or what. The machine doesn't seem to boot either, just sits there and has the siren sound blaring.
Please help.

Thanks

I swapped out the CPU and fan, it made no difference. Could it be something with the mother board or anything else?

Maybe is the system panel connection pin placed into the wrong pin.
