It is detecting Residule voltage off the hot line, your common/Neutral should have no voltage. One thing I have noticed when using many non contacts if you are Holding a live wire (on the insulation)
I have gotten false readings (continous beeps) from the non-contact when checking neutral lines. Unsure as to why but something I have came across when trying to seperate wires while testing.
