Random "bloop" (beep, ding) from audio system minutes after driving

[RynoRanger]

...I have to be this guy. I'm sorry. I THINK this happens a couple minutes after I start driving and no other times. Every time I start the engine and start driving for (somewhere around ~2min or so) I get a "blooomp" sound from the system. I have my seatbelt on... no warnings on the infotainment screen or on the speedo/info area. What the hell is that sound? lol.
My phone (iphone/carplay) is already connected and usually playing something by then...
My gas is not empty... no warning lights... what is beeping?

There's most likely a VERY simple and stupid answer for this but... i have to admit I have no clue what it is for hahaha.. sorry.
I did search and nothing useful or remotely related came up. Let me know.

Does the audio attentuate when this happens?

.....trying to remember but I don't think so.

I don't have my workshop manuals on this computer to recall exactly what priority levels the messaging system had.... but if I recall correctly the only level that won't attentuate audio is stuff like seatbelt chimes.

I'd lean towards the noise being generated by your phone rather than the vehicle.

Following, I have had the same thing happen. Only about ever 4 or 5 times I drive but would like to know where it is coming from.

I had something like this happening on my F150 earlier this year. It turned out to be the iHeartradio app on my phone confirming it was connected by bluetooth. It happened quite a few times before I caught the App's logo popping up at the top of my phone when it made the sound, then it would disappear. I'm not sure why the app is designed to confirm it, even after the bluetooth link to the phone itself is already confirmed.

Mine randomly will double flasher blink when the auto stop starts up sometimes.

Pretty sure I figured it out!! Well my buddy did; he saw the notification on the top right of the center display screen. It was the "school zone" nearby alert on the Ford Nav map... there's a checkbox to disable it in the settings.
lol... I never saw text in that top left area while driving so... thankfully he saw it. We were on a little trip and it kept happening so that's why I always got it like a minute after driving as there's a school like a mile up the road from me.

WOOO...annoyance figured out

Yeah I had the same thing. I could tell that the nav was giving me a warning but the words would disappear faster than I could read them so it took a while to figure out why.
