This is an alarm inside the car that starts and goes between 20 seconds and more than an hour. It does not stop when the ignition is turned off and goes on sometimes for as long as 15 minutes with all electric off and the car locked. It can do it several times during a driving session or not do it for several weeks. The sound level is unfortunately not like a seat belt alarm but much much louder. I would say it is just below the threshold of pain. I usually open the windows when this happens to numb my ears or I put in ear plugs. I have taken notes of when this happens and cannot relate the event to anything so far. I have tried, all accessories on /off, bluetooth, passenger seat seat belt, load sensor on the seat, checked fluid levels, etc...does not relate to outside temperature or humidity or car speed.
I have taken it to the local Dealer twice and they kept it for 3 days but could never duplicate the problem long enough to plug in their diagnostic. I carry earplugs but clearly this is very VERY annoying!
