Default Strange Dinging

So I'm driving today and accelerated around a car into a turn lane. As I came to a stop at the light my car started chiming the sound it makes when you leave your keys in the ignition and open the door. It did this the entire cycle of the light, I made a left, drove about a 100 feet and it turned off. No warning lights, no dic messages....

Thoughts?

Perhaps it was your turn signal alarm. When you completed the left turn it canceled your turn signal and the dinging.

I agree, If you have your turn sig on for a long time and don't turn right away it will ding....

From what i read it sounds like the dinging began as soon as he stopped and not after the turn signal had been on for a period of time. I don't recall anything like this ever happening with my C5.

Crewrow is it possible your knee hit the key as you were stopping? Maybe you confused the car if you did hit the key and it thought you were trying to remove it while the car was running?
