Okay, if my engine is on and I'm in park every time I close any door t beeps four times. I use the car for deliveries and it's driving me nuts. How do I disable it?

Get a seat belt buckle extender. When you take your seat belt off while the car is still running it tricks the car thinking you are still buckled up. This will prevent your car from making that annoying beep every time.
This is not normal behavior for the RAV4. You should only hear 2 beeps when you unlock the doors with the remote, and 1 beep when you lock them. Do you have an alarm system installed?
Actually I believe mine does that too.
According to their profile, they have a 2009 Limited V6.
I'm guessing it was a change made when the SmartKey system was added for the Limited's in 2009?
I have a remote starter installed (but not an alarm). If they have a remote starter installed, it could be related to that, I suppose.
They're right, it's quite annoying.

If the OP has a smart key system, then the beeps are normal. The beeps are telling the driver that he is walking away with his engine still running.
It can also act as a warning that someone else has walked away with the key, which is a situation that could occur if you let a passenger out of your vehicle and he takes a package or your jacket which contains the key.

It does this on my 09 Limited with the smart key. If you leave the car with the key in your pocket then the car will beep to let you know the key isn't in the vehicle anymore. This could be a good warning if you are changing drivers or something. I've driven places before with my wife and then gotten out and she drives the car back home. It would be inconvenient if I kept the key when we did that.
Solution is to leave the key in the cup holder while you are driving around. No problems with beeps if you do that.

In my WRX for example, it only beeped when I got out and I could push the door chime button to stop it. Opening other doors and closing them didn't cause beeping, just the driver door, just once. The Rav, ALL the doors will trigger the beeps AFTER you open then close them engine on, keys in pocket. Presumably to let you know the engine's on but there should be a disable button for those of us who aren't complete morons whow never had that issue before smart keys were invented.
Doors open, like the rear it doesn't beep at all. Only after you shut it. So if that's a safety feature why doesn't the car just shut off after 10 minutes of idling?
The RAV4's short little beeps are nothing compared to the constant beep tone that came out of our Kia. I just unplugged the buzzer for that, was easy to do right behind the fender. What drove me to that was our year in a rental house with no garage door opener so I had to get out and close the garage door. Was loud enough early in the morning to annoy neighbors. I haven't looked to find it on the RAV as it hasn't bothered me enough to do so but I imagine you could do the same thing.
Would search through the service manual for "buzzer" or "horn". Or just listen for it with the hood open.
Alternatively that is likely something a dealer could program for you.
