Warning chime

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A warning chime is a carillon-like sound, used in automobiles to warn about:

• Handbrake in use while accelerator pedal is being pressed.
• Ignition on/door open.
• Low fuel level.
• Proximity warning.
• Seat belt not being utilised.
• Speed alert (travelling faster than speed set in computer).
• Failure of safety system (ABS)

This sound can be construed as aggravating by some, leading to certain individuals altering their automobile to render the source of the chime mute.
