Default Beeping !!!

My wife and I went to dinner last night in the 2010 GS. All the way there ( about 5 miles) she said "this thing keeps beeping intermittently . I can't here very high sounds so I never heard it. There was no message in the display. It is not the same loud ding ding you get when your seat belt is not fastened. That I can hear. I pulled into a parking lot, shut the car off and restarted it and it still did it.

When we got home, I remembered and asked if the car beeped on the way home and she said it didn't. I remember she also heard it doing it a couple of years ago . Any thoughts? By the way, this morning I had it smoged and it passed with no issues, so I assume there are no codes.

What do you have for a stereo in it ? Stock or aftermarket ? I know my Pioneer system has a slight beep that you can hear when changing the volume for example.

If you've got the Navigation system in your car, it may be a warning from it.

Stock stereo, never use it or the nav system. No curb alert.

Is it possible that it is not car related? Perhaps someone's phone needed charging? Some phones beep when the battery is getting low.

About a year ago, I was getting a beeping, and could never figure it out. No messages ever showed.I took it in for new tires and told them to replace the TPMS too. Never had any beeping after I got the car back.Maybe a TPMS going bad?

The only time I've heard a beep i couldn't immediately explain was when I was riding shotgun, and had my left hand on the e-brake lever. I must have moved it up just a bit, and that was enough to trigger a warning beep. Just a thought.

Whenever I have my cell phone in the center console cup holder and the fob is in my pocket, I get an intermittent beep from the dash. When I move the key to the cup holder and put the phone on the passenger seat or the pocket in the door, no more beep.

Every once in a while I don't release the parking brake lever all the way & there will be a beeping signal.
