Anyone know what that is? or encountered it before?

I do plan on asking next time it happens, but curiosity is getting the better of me!
What airline or airlines? Are you traveling in any sort of special seat (exit row) or in an unusual circumstance (lap child on the same itinerary, wheelchair request)?

For example when I have an exit-row seat on UA, the scanner beeps like crazy as if I had an invalid boarding pass. But apparently the only purpose of the extra noise is for the gate agent to ask if I am eligible to sit in the exit row.
