Ding Dong

I recently got my 4Runner and sometimes while driving I will hear a Ding Dong sound from inside the cab for no apparent reason. At first I thought it was a ring tone from my Cell phone but it seem to be louder than my cell phone plus my phone didn't have any warnings on it. Any idea of what this is, I would appreciate your help.

 

2015 SR5P. I've noticed the same. Never figured out what it is as it is very sporadic.

 

could it be just your head that is making the noises?

 

Tailgate may not be fully latched.

 

Liftgate is not fully closed?

 

Could be seat belt chime.

 

Do you have any weight on the front passenger seat that would exceed the limit to require it to be buckled?

 

My 2022 SR5 Premium 4WD may chime / ding once, or maybe two dings very, very infrequently while I’m driving. Beats the heck out of me what it’s about. I know my back hatch is closed completely. No caution or warning lights come on at those times. I don’t worry about it. I’m afraid to take it in to the dealer over it for fear they might mess with stuff and mess something up. lol!

 

Dash cam?

 

When this happens, Have you noticed if any warning lamps on the instrument cluster flash at the same time?

 

Any aftermarket gizmos stuck or wired up anywhere? I haven't heard of a "ding dong" but I've heard of "pew" and alarm-ish sounds in vehicles that came with a GPS tracker (think BHPH lots) that wasn't fully removed.

 

Maybe Toyota has some subliminal advertising going on:

 

Have you heard the noise with the entertainment system turned off? Do you use GPS navigation, whether integrated or via cell phone app?

 

Maybe check rear seat chime?

 

Thank you everyone, at least I'm not the only one that has experienced this. I'm going to find out what it is and share it with all of you.

Thank you again!

 

That's the Toyota OEM Squatch alarm. It's standard in all 5th gens.

It goes off when it detects Squatch activity in the area.

Be careful... they're out there...

 

nailed it. Forgot that came standard on my Trail Special as well! Lol!
