That Ding Dong Sound?
About half the time when I switch from reverse to forward and the rearview camera turns off there is a ding dong tone, like a stewardess call button. I can't figure out the logic of when it sounds and when it doesn't. Anyone know what the story is?

Not sure what you mean by parking aid aside from the rearview camera. The ding dong happens when I'm going forward at sufficient speed to turn the camera off...but the issue is that even under that condition it only happens about 50% of the time.

Yes, as in the rear view camera. Is it your parking sensors sometimes picking something up as you drive away? I won't know exactly what you mean without hearing what sound you are referring to.

I'm NOT talking about the sound you hear to identify an object in the vehicles path. Lets say I'm backing out of my garage, rearview camera activated. I then drive forward and after a few seconds, when the rearview camera turns off, I hear a smooth ding dong sound that's just like a call button on an airplane. The thing is it only happens about half the time and I cant tell why. At one point I thought it might have to do with the passenger airbag warning.

I know exactly what you mean. To me it sounds like a soft doorbell. I noticed the car ding donged when I first put the car into drive, but not again after that. I"m surprised others have not noticed this. Perhaps this happens with a TT, but not the TTS?

When I park my TT in the garage, I hear a ding dong outside the car for about a minute after I exit. Perhaps, the sensors are noticing that there are obstacles all around it still because of the tight space it's parked in ?

Yesterday I heard it. I was driving very slowly through a parking garage and there was a wall along my passenger side (pretty close). At the moment an oncoming car past me also very close, the "ding dong" sounded. I think 21tesla is right in that it has to do with obstacles to be aware of on both sides. In my case the car was moving. It sounds like in the case above, the car was stationary.
