How could I automatically detect MP3 file errors that result in bleeps?
In this example MP3 I can hear bleep at 0:02.

You could try Foobar2000 - it has a module called File Integrity Verifier that can spot obvious problems. When I run this check on your example file, it indicates that the file length is incorrect which would indicate an encoding problem. To do the check, open the file in Foobar (via File->Open) then right-click it in the playlist and choose Utilities->Verify Integrity. It may not always be able to detect errors though.
There are some other programs like MP3Val, MP3Utility and MP3 Check that do a similar thing to foobar2000's integrity verifier, but again, I'm pretty sure that they can only detect obvious errors.
MP3 Shield is long discontinued and not fool-proof, but it can detect fakes and several types of corruption including pops, loops, and silence. It is however prone to the occasional false-positive and false-negative (it used to be possible to submit incorrectly detected files to update the algorithm, but unfortunately there are no more updates).
