imstillatwork Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 I've been noticing a faint beep while driving that I can't figure out. It is similar to the SI-Drive mode change beep, but about half as loud, and a slightly different tone. There are no dash indicators while the beep beeps. Everything is normal and fine. It is NOT the ET 2 hours beep. thx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dasbigunit Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 does your cell phone have a message waiting? jk that was my guess, the E/T beep... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-TT- Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 check your trunk and all doors to make sure they are closed? also where are you located and is the temperature above the 30s? (which, of course, i assume is the case) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
han Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 +1 on the doors and/or trunk. But usually, the little display thingy will show the trunk lid open on the 07's. I know I noticed that faint beep while moving and looked at the little display thingy right away and it showed the trunk. Also, try opening and closing all the doors, hood and trunk just to be sure i guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lawl Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 my clutch has a little beeping sound. its actually a squeak. but yea... car for sale. PM me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squishyface Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 Do you drive with your hand/arm resting on the back your passenger seat? I used to, until the seat belt indicator chime kept goin off. It didn't show up on the dash because the indicator is on the roof...took forever to figure it out. I'm not sure where your indicator is, but it's worth investigating.

imstillatwork Posted August 2, 2007 Author Share Posted August 2, 2007 arg. not my cell phone not my clutch it IS a manual not I-mode shift light not a seatbelt nearly 100% it's not the doors / trunk because I've had them all opened and closed several times today and over the week. very odd in deed thanks for the great ideas though.

feelander Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 my car releases a soft beep and displays the temp when its 37 degrees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TravisS Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 I think you have to have really sensitive ears to hear it. Perhaps being a little paranoid will help too I hear the beep you're talking about from time to time. Sounds like it's coming from the left side of the dash somewhere. It is very odd.

groff Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 not gas?? i know you said no indicators, but thats my guess if its not the other stuff. does it happen at any specific time, something w/ the radio? idk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TravisS Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 I do not believe it to be related to any "warning" or other indicator type tone. It is too quiet for this type of thing. I've seen no correlation to when it happens or why. Sometimes I'm just driving on my way home from work, and I hear the beeping. Dunno Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crawdaddy79 Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 Are you hitting your parking brake at any point in time? Maybe the switch is faulty? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imstillatwork Posted August 2, 2007 Author Share Posted August 2, 2007 TravisS - So I'm not crazy (not THAT crazy) I am the kind of person that hears the high tone that printers and TV's produce from just being on. It IS way to quite to be a real warning. it's NOT the parking brake - that is different it's NOT the temp - it's not the clock (not regular intervals)\ glad someone else noticed it though!!

XiiiXiii Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 I drove around with a beep once. Turns out it was the case of beer on my passenger seat that was setting off the passenger air bag sensor. It was beeping at me because passenger (case of beer) didn't have a seat belt on Do you have anything on your passenger seat setting off the weight sensor?

02BlkRex Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 Does the TPMS have a beep? My indicator light is on all the time but I don't hear any beeps...I do have a turboback exhaust though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
02BlkRex Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 Maybe it is a low battery indicator on a camera, cell phone, AP, etc. in your glovebox? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay - well that just about covers everything. I guess the beep doesn't really exist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TravisS Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 Maybe it is a low battery indicator on a camera, cell phone, AP, etc. in your glovebox? Dunno if it's coming from the same spot for both of us, but for me, definately not. Sound is from left side of dash, kinda like where the gauge brightness knob is. At least, I think that's where it's coming from. I haven't stuck my head down there while driving or pulled over on the side of the road for it I do not keep my cell phone on my dash. It's quiet enough that I have to turn off radio and HVAC to hear it. This could be part of the reason I do not hear it often, as I generally have both on. I think the shape of the dash throws sounds around though. For example a rattle that comes from the rear view mirror sounds like it is coming from the center of the dash. Perhaps it is not coming from where it sounds like it is? Dunno. Easy to ignore though, it's just... a really weird thing to hear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
