Default Ding ding ding

Hey guys,
Noobie question here. I was driving my car (545) the other day and heard a series of three or four dings (or bongs). It is not my speed warning as that is set for 90mph and I was going less than 60. No warnings or codes showed up. Any clue what this might be? This has happened one other time to my wife as well. Thanks for the help

Memo (as in top of the hour notification)? 4 or so peeps (not really dings). Temperature warning is one "ding" with cluster warning icon showing up.

+1...check your clock settings. Uncheck the 'Hourly Memo' option.

You guys nailed it with the hourly chime. Thanks a ton. Would have taken me a hot minute to figure that out
