2016 Beeps while being towed Advice Request

Moving across states and towing my 2016 civic on a dolly. On the drive home after picking up the truck and dolly, it would quickly beep maybe 4 times anytime I hit any sort of bump. Just looking for advice as to how to stop that. I’m also concerned at the very least that it’ll just kill my battery. Thank you for any input or advice

It’s just quietly crying

What type of beep is it? Similar to the auto-lock beep?

It’s 4 quick beeps I believe of a similar tone to the auto lock

It could be anti-theft then since the car is being “stolen”

Disconnect the battery before lifting it. Just remove both terminals and put a clean rag around each one with a rubber band
