Below is a list of sounds that the GONG makes...the tones for (front) PDC also uses the same GONG...the (rear) PDC sensors use another GONG that's mounted in the rear of the cabin...but that's an option that some BMWs won't have:
* Hour Memo warning - 3 audible BEEPS in succession
* LIGHTS ON warning - 2 audible GONGS
* KEYS IN IGNITION LOCK - 1 audible GONG repeated in succession
* Everything else - 1 GONG
Since we don't know what set-up you have (MID or Nav)...we can't tell you how to turn it off...post back with your set-up...or turn to your owners manual and look for HOUR MEMO in the index at back of manual.
There's also a little HOUR MEMO icon that will be illuminated in the MID's display or the Nav monitor that indicates that you have this feature initiated:
If you've unlocked your OBC, you can also run TEST 13 (its the GONG test)...which runs thru all the tones of the vehicles chime. The chime makes all the sounds for the check control system & OBC.
Here's the video of the GONG sounds: OBC Test 13 Gong Sounds Hour Lights Limit Key - YouTube
* 1st = HOUR MEMO's (3 beeps are heard)
* 2nd = LIGHTS ON (higher toned (1) beep is heard)
* 3rd = speed LIMIT MPH & LOW FUEL (lower toned (1) beep is heard)
* 4th = KEYS IN IGNITION LOCK (higher toned (1) beep is heard)

Thanks for post. YouTube is very useful. Actually this is not GANG sound. It is beep like kids digital watch. It comes at different time hence recording is bit difficult. I will try next time...
