Tubby's tend to use it a lot during the late 70's, like around 75 / 76 mostly on vinyl releases. on certain "Raw" cut dub lp's before they get repressed usually on the JA press have the beep before or after the famous false starts.

lots and lots of tubby beeps out there, either at the intro or somewhere sprinkled in the mix.
i'd call the channel one sound a "ping" more than a beep. almost like a popping sound that echoes out.

yes you're right hot milk on that, i've heard enough dubplates mixed at channel one that also have that sound amongst other weird effects that is in false starts too. they used it a lot on their general releases especially dub / instrumental lp's and 7"

King Tubbys signature "beep" is a test- tone.
Channel One's signature is an oscillator with arpegiator.
Both with added delay / reverb.

you can get something like that sound by plugging stuff into the wrong inputs and having levels 'wrong' thus getting a feedback loop. But I wouldn't play around with that too often or too loud even on my cheapo crappy mixer!
Anyway, always just sounded like a test tone to me - pure sine waveform which sideversion informs us is 10kHz - I think really it is 1kHz see and listen here:

what note is that?

I resent that! I am a cooool reggae guy - I- am - KOOL! Well...OK...while I dislike the term nerd, I cannot truthfully deny that I fit the definition when it comes to reggae!
Geek too perhaps. Just because I don't have the thick glasses, pocket protector and braces on my teeth does not mean that I am at heart as nerdly and geekish as the rest of you on the RA forum!
...well at least there's nobody stealing lunch money here...
