It drowns out bad language (5)

I believe the answer is:

bleep

(Other definitions for bleep that I've seen before include "High-pitched signal from device - you're needed" , "Noise of alarm" , "(Alarm) pulse" , "Swearing substitute" , "Electronic alarm sound" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
