Maybe he came from a BMW and is learning to use turn signals and leaves them on?

Removing the radio will eliminate them.

when i installed my aftermarket stereo, there was some sort of converter box that had to be used to integrate the on-star system. anyway, on this box, it had a volume control that would allow you to adjust the volume with the warning system and on-star.

Yep....and if not get rid of them maybe at least make it where you can turn them way down so they aren't so annoying. The seat belt chime in every vehicle we own is way too loud even when they are adjusted at the low setting.

For sure. Plug one into each ear.


Baby carrots might work, too. Same shape and color.

Sometimes I open the door to get in and it goes ding, ding, ding until I am in and the door is closed. Other times we are rolling down the road, and my wife will say is there a message, the car keep beeping.(This I can't hear. There is no message. Seat belt bong is not a problem because I always have the belt on.
I can't hear the high beeps, but mu wife can. On a trip home from the Bonneville salt flats, it beeped on and off the entire trip. Would like to turn it all off.

If it's beeping, there's a problem.

Fix the problem....beeping stops.

the car is trying to alert you to something that is ongoing and needs to be tended to. You need to find out what is going on and correct it. My car is not vocal at all when I’m good order

Mine likes to do this on purpose (just enough to set off the alarm). It usually gets some kind of "Oh crap" face and starts laughing at my stress levels.
