moors code beeping when flying VOR?

when I turn on VOR. the beeping keeps on until I get
to the airport and shut down the NAV radio.....
Is this beeping supposed to be on all the time? how to turn it off?
thanks

hello
Yes the beep has to be there. It allows one to identify the station although it can be seen on the HSI, it is used as a backup identification system on aircrafts. The only way to shut the beep off is to switch the ident button on the radio console to off. On doing so the beep will stop but u will still be receiving the VOR signal from that particular station. Hope this has answered ur query.
Bye& happy flying.
