I have a 2019 fit, and whenever I start the car, the startup chime has a distorted/scratchy sound, like they were coming from a blown out speaker (speakers and radio still sounds fine). It's the same for the door open chime and the alert that comes on when the lights are on after shutting the engine. I'll work on getting a sound sample soon, but has anyone experienced this?

 

I've not had that problem, but, honestly, as often (or not often) as you actually ever hear it, I wouldn't worry about fixing it if everything else is working......I could live with the complete absence of the stupid nanny reminder chimes, really. A sound clip would be interesting, but I wouldn't worry about, you ony hear it for a second or two here and there.

 

I'm on the other side. Can't stand distorted noises, chimes, etc.

My guess is a blown transducer. Same thing that makes the beep sound in your microwave oven.

New car, have it fixed under warranty. Might seem like a small thing now, but after years of it, how will you feel?

 

True, it's still under warranty, guess I would get it fixed.....but probably only if my wife complained about it Our is a '15
