After an update about 4 months ago I have some new sounds. About 30 seconds after I start up I hear a one or two tone sound with no apparent reason, there’s no message/warning that accompanies it. The other one is now when I lock the truck SOMETIMES I get a rapid 3 honks that drives my wife crazy. Any insight to why these are showing up now and how to turn off the triple honk? Thanks. Really appreciate this forum and it’s administrators.

Typical OTA side effects, your customized settings have reverted to defaults, go into SYNC menus and adjust as you see fit. The off-tone sounds are from the basic alerts system when the trucks audio system is too slow to boot in time for 'enhanced quality sounds effects'

Not familiar with a triple honk. Check your settings for Key Detection Alert. This will cause a double honk if you exit the vehicle (open/close a door) with a key or PAAK and the truck is still on. I know this isn’t the exact situation you described but maybe you’re wife has a key and she’s still in the truck.

If that’s not it, try a 12V disconnect for 10-20 minutes.

That chime you're hearing sounds like the predictive destination on the navigation screen. I've been getting it more often the past few weeks a few seconds after I pull out of my driveway. You'll see a seemingly new icon at the bottom of the left navigation column. When you press it, a table will appear with where the truck thinks you're going based on past history.

As I don't have a regular schedule, navigation will sometimes get the destination right.
