Chime pitch change?

[Howard_Scott_Warshaw]

It's entirely possible I'm losing my mind, but has anyone noticed a change in the pitch of the miscellaneous chimes inside the cab? From the door open chime, to the backup obstacle alarm chime, to the "dong dong" chime notifying you of traffic on your route, they all seem to be a higher pitch and not as "warm" as they used to be.

Thoughts?

I've noticed something different, I'll pay better attention next time I'm driving the Lightning, spending as much time on the motorcycle before cold weather hits for the season as I can.

You sure you just didn't have your truck go into deep sleep or throw some other error and have the sound play from the in-dash speaker instead of the sound system?

I don’t know about deep sleep, but I have experienced the chime play through the dash instead of sync, and you have to reboot sync then restart the truck to get it to switch back. And the dash chime is similar but different enough to make you question your sanity.

I've noticed that happens when i get a new OTA update. It goes away within a day IME.

Same here this morning. No indication of any updates made overnight.

That s probably it. How long does the truck need to sit before the Deep Sleep mode comes on?

Mines rarely sitting for longer than a 12-hour period.

It really depends. In theory, the truck should keep the 12V battery charged even when it's off, but the Lightning has been plagued with low 12V battery voltage issues. So I couldn't tell you exactly how long, but I'd say if it's happening after a shirt time, it's usually related to charging somehow. If my truck isn't plugged in, it doesn't usually have a problem for several days if it does at all.

A recent OTA update did change the chimes, I like the new ones.

I agree, however this anomaly is different and I think a previous comment nailed it down. Sometimes the chimes come out of the in-dash speaker, other times it comes out of the Sync system. Something related to whether the truck put itself into deep sleep mode.
