Is this normal?

No. It's not normal. That sequence indicates a defective sensor, or a broken wire or poor connection. The sequence of beeps tells you which sensor is defective. Somewhere in the installation/troubleshooting literature is a table that says how to read the sequence.
Some mechanics think they can cut and splice the wires, to make it easier to install or to replace a bumper. You can't. If the wires are spliced, or even slightly damaged, the system won't work right. Avoid kinks and sharp corners, too, because that can affect the sensitivity. The extra wire can be bundled and stowed neatly, but it cannot be cut out.
