Your mobile is constantly polling cellsites (masts)to work out the best signal strength for best quality coverage.
Each time there is a better signal on another mast, it will do the beepy type noise through the speakers while it swaps over to it.
It will also do it:
When you switch the phone on, this is when it registers and contacts the cellsite
When you switch the phone off, this is to inform the network that it is being switched off
When you make/receive a phone call, text or create a data connection.
