That Ding Dong Sound?

It's very strange that all these TT owners don't know what you are talking about. It has been with me for a year now almost every time I start off at about 10km/hr. Nothing to do with obstacle detection, seat belt warning, but it could be passenger seatbelt off, because I usually hear it when I am the only one in the car.

I have another guess... I believe it's happening when the passenger airbag CHANGES from off to on / on to off. For example, my husband got out of the car (in that parking garage mentioned earlier) and then while driving away slowly I heard the ding dong (on to off). Another time my son got into the car after I pulled out of the garage and then it sounded when I started to drive away (off to on). Airbag now on (ding dong), air bag now off (ding dong).

Fun101: I think you're on to something. I noticed the same thing when my wife got into the car. However, it has sounded a number of times when I was alone, usually when first driving away after being parked. [but not always] Might well have something to do with airbags.
