This weekend I finally got the opportunity to spend quality time in my car. In general the experience was great except for the annoying occasional chime. For some reason while driving I get a chime that sounds three times before stopping. No indicators on the dash show alerting me to what the problem is. The crazy thing is that it happens infrequently and under a variety of driving conditions (highway or city). It occurs sometimes when all passengers are buckled up or when I am driving alone (always buckled). Does anyone know what this is and how to make it stop?

Could it be your hourly chime?

So you are saying that the it chimes 3 times at the start of the hour? If so can I turn it off?
