I appreciate the input. It has been getting worse lately. Now it is always loud every time. It doesn't even step down like it used to. It is so hot down here now I won't even get into my truck without rolling the windows down first. Yesterday I had enough of it and unplugged the dash speaker. Not having the turn signal tone will take some getting used to. I don't hear high pitched or frequency sounds through my left ear so I may not notice the stereo sounding very different.

That being said, if I thought the dealer would be able to do something about it I would take it there and have the chime "programed out" but I understand why they wouldn't.

There is one more thing I may try in the future. I read this on another website but I have never seen anyone else try or confirm that it actually works but it does sound feasible.

(If your chime volume control in the settings does not affect the volume, it's on lowest setting and still way too loud, your radio's amp is shot. These chimes are controlled through the amp. You need to remove the amp, note the part number and purchase a used one from Ebay. All of these other fixes are useless. The amp is mounted on the back cabin wall. To access you need to remove the larger half of the rear seat. It's an easy fix once you have the new amp. The rear seat is two sections, the short side and the long side. There are 2 10mm screws that hold the short and long section of seat frame together then about 5 nuts that hold the long section of seat frame to the floor. Remove these and lift the seat up and out toward the front, just enough to give you access to the rear wall of the cab. You will find the amp mounted on the wall right between where the two seats meet, covered by a layer of insulation. Unplug the old one, plug in the new one and then replace the seat. Your chime volume control will be restored.)

I know this is an old thread, but I didn't see any point in starting a new one.

My '15 Sierra just started doing this, to where it's randomly loud and then normal. Did you ever do the amp fix that you posted about? If so, did it work for you? The post just below you mentioned "radio module," so I guess I'm kind of curious if one or the other (or both) can be the culprit.

I am just starting my research on this, and I typically don't use our dealer in town. So I apologize for the additional questions. Oh, and that post you quoted...Is T and P a user there? Thanks.

T and P was on another Forum. I don't know if he is on here or not. Without any further information, as in the only one case where this claimed to fix it. It wasn't enough for me to try it.

This isn't going to work for most people but for me it was the lesser of the two evils. I disconnected my front left dash speaker.

For me the only real negative is you loose the Turn Signal Tone. On the plus side I am not constantly aggravated and stressed.

With my compromised hearing (no high freq in the left ear) the radio sound difference is hardly noticeable.

The Radio module mentioned above sounds promising. The re programing part is something I won't be able to do on my own.

Thanks for the information.

I've not been able to address this further just yet, as I'm dealing with another problem (tail light installation) that has taken priority.

I'll be looking to see if there is anything new about the radio update, but I'm gathering, based upon what I've read so far, that this might not work for me due to having the Bose system. Thanks again.
