The only thing for sure is the continuous tone, but it can be confusing since during the cycling of beeps, there are a few longer beeps that seem to be (almost) continuous.
Is this normal?
From what you describe, the sound is NOT normal. (In the 2007 version).

When I shift into reverse, I get one or two beeps, letting me know the system is working. After that, it is quiet until I approach an obstruction.

Even with false alerts, the beeps are in a steady cadence and not erratic.

Your symptoms do not seem to indicate a problem with the sensors being aimed too low and alerting the pavement. Rather, IMHO, possibly either poor connections somewhere in the system or problems with the control unit.
