Default Beeps while driving

I just purchased a 2014 Z51 3LT .. After start up there is a 3 beep burst that seems to come out of the passenger side speaker. It happens on and off while driving, no pattern .. while moving or sitting still. Passenger or not doesn't change the pattern .. no messages on the dash, any suggestions?

Is there a curb alert installed on the car.

If so, no one's figured it out, yet.

Since no one else has mentioned it and your car is a '14, just change the fob battery and see what happens. It may be near the end of it's life.

I'm really curious if it's the same sound as the other thread. Weird if it is.

But, do you know it's not for sure, since nothing else seems to be the cause. A fob with a low battery can do some strange things.

I'd bet money on it.

The car doesn't constantly quest for the fob. They only communicate when a button on either the fob or the outside of the car is pressed, the on/off button is pushed, or when exiting the car. The fob can die, or you can throw the fob or the window while driving, and the car won't know.

Until you exit.

I have a a new 2016 and mine was doing this yesterday while I was stopped at a traffic light. It was coming from the passenger speakers and stopped once I got going and did not come back. Car only has 100 miles on it.

Is the passenger door shut on something like a seat belt or something else or is the door's latch or something broken !!! Wayne

If you have a Vert -- could be a not latched warning. Happen to mine right after the SW update on Friday. Of course it was latched an recycled the to down and back up and magic..

All the warnings for the C7 are quicker and higher toned ( and only a single note) than the beep/chimes in the link I provided, and every warning sound should come with a message on the DIC.

These outlier chimes, are most likely from some other source (blue toothed phone or aftermarket "something".
