Gong is different everytime I start the car

WTF

So when you start the car, the gong dings three times. Mine will do the high gong once, and then cut short and interrupt, and finsh with two low pitched gongs. Not a big deal, but is this normal?

Um, what does the gong signify? I hear only the no seatbelt dings, and the black ice ding. Is this somehow related to the audio not muted at start?

The gong signifies a ding noise every time you start the car. There are three gongs when I start my car.

I get three gongs when I first start the car, and I am wonderng why one gong is high, and then gets cut off, and the other two gongs are low. Sounds like electrical gremlins to me.
