Rear alarm

I just got a 2017 F 150 XLT and today when we put it in reverse a loud audible alarm went on and stayed on until we shut off the truck, also on the monitor screen the image of the truck shows a red light on the right rear of the truck. We made sure all the sensors are clear, but the alarm still goes off when we put the truck in reverse

have you tried to check your owner's manual for the red light/alarm?

Do you have a good quality photo of the red light you can share?

Audible alarm inside the truck or outside?

I think one of the back up sensors has some moisture in it. Mine does this too every now and then until it gets a good sleep in the heated garage then it seems to go away. Turns red like it thinks something is right up against the bumper. This is on a 15 thou and only does it once and a while. The audible alarm I hear is the solid beep like I am about to back into something. Not sure if that's what your hearing or not. If it always does it thou maybe you have a bad sensor?
