My 14 did the static through the speakers.  Eventually the head unit went under warranty.  The 2017 does it only once in a blue moon.  It is a lease so I will be giving it back.

Good morning...as I started my truck this morning all seemed to be fine...and then I started getting an alert tone of some kind...it almost sounded like the seat belt tone (but nothing flashing on the dash info center).  So I unclicked and clicked my seat belt...still the tone would beep every couple seconds...I thought this was going to be a long drive to work...but by the time I got out of my neighborhood, it stopped beeping...

 

This isn't the first time this has happened...but didn't think much of it last time...did a search on the forum, and I couldn't really find much...any help is appreciated.

I have a 2019 ZR2 which is plagued with the same issue of the ding/tone what ever I was able to narrow it down to when the built in phone charger is working it will ding and subsequently tone ding when turning off…

I have a 2018 sierra and we got in the truck and started to drive. It did it a few times. I decided to Google it.Im in the passenger seat and decided to make sure my seat belt is buckled good. I reached down and it was but I noticed I had it buckled in the middle buckle instead of the one for the passenger by the door 🙄. I am thinking there must be a sensor of some kind in that buckle to let you know it's not hooked when a passenger or weight is in the seat. 🤔.  It hasn't done it since

See if you can't find the middle seat seatbelt and just leave that buckled all the time. Then you will always get the passenger seatbelt buckled in the correct latch. that's what I do.

 

And there is a sensor in the passenger seat that senses how much weight is there. If under a certain weight (maybe 40lbs???) no ding. But over that weight, you will get the warning dings. Also IIRC, when under that certain weight, the passenger side airbag is disabled too. I think the notification is in the roof console.

As far as airbag, earlier models had a switch on dash that you would use the ignition key to disable the airbag in cases where you might have to drive with a child in front seat. It was a nice safety feature.

 

But if I had to take a guess, there was probably incidences where airbag didn't get turned back on and passengers got more hurt because airbag had previously been disabled and driver forgot to turn it back on. Or someone unfamiliar borrowed truck not knowing the airbag had been turned off and had an accident. I don't know this for a fact but wouldn't be surprised if it did...
