Chime related story.....This thread is as good as any to post what happened to me today. Listening to the 70's station on SXM, and Eric Carmen's "Can't Live Without You" comes on. I look over at my wife and ask her if she disconnected the seatbelt, because the chime came on.
I then realize the opening piano notes to the song are identical to the seatbelt chime in note and tone...LMAO. Messed with my head for a moment.

I don't know, because I didn't paid attention to it until I read this thread. Approximately, it's about a month I was having the "beep beep" and today the "duuum duuum" returned at its first start (and the restarts after it for the whole day). Now that I know about it, I will surely notice if/when it'll go away again.

I've noticed something, when it reprised I had less than 80Km of fuel, it's when the dashboard will start to warn you about the "low" fuel. It could be that the "dum dum dum" kicks in because of that, overriding the "beep beep". I will test later today filling the tank.

Maybe yes.. but I can't find a reason of why it returns and then it goes away again.. also I'm not sure that everyone that is experiencing this "bug" has changed anything with ForScan.

OKAY, I think I may have figured it out..
If your car goes into battery save mode, it will not play the Hoof steps noise upon startup. It must shut down the systems it requires (stereo) in order to make the sound. Which makes sense to me. It will not return until the battery reaches a normal operating level.
Just another sign that that the batteries are not sufficiently sized for these high-tech cars. I hope it does not lead to future electrical failures, as BCM's and ECM's hate voltage irregularities. Then add people jump starting and boost charging to make it worse.
imo.

That means my car never has good battery? Never had any issues with the battery but still no heartbeat sound.
