The type of tone can change depending on any problems your Mac might be experiencing, so they are a good way of figuring out what's preventing your Mac to properly start. First of all, check that the Mac is connected to a power supply, and that the power cable is secure.
Then you should check that the power socket is switched on and working. Test it with a lamp! Next, eliminate the possibility that it's a display problem. Is there a startup chime? Can you hear the fan?
