Note
One spelling does two jobs here: the plain past (the truck beeped) and the participle after have or be. Only the transitive uses can turn passive. A doctor is beeped by the hospital, meaning paged, or a friend is beeped with a single ring as a request to call back. When a watch simply beeped, there is no object, and so no passive to form.
