Recently I’ve experienced changes in the way the warning chimes sound. I noticed it right away while backing up and it also does it with the initial startup beeps. It sounds like it’s coming through a crappy speaker behind the dash. Usually it comes through the main speakers.

My car is going in probably week for something else and they’re going to look at it. Found another thread online about this issue and it could be related to the BCM connection. I have some other electrical gremlins and this could be the fix . I will update!

Do you have the current Sync version? I've had the tones change during / after an update and then it reverts to the normal tones after a bit.

here's the winner. it will change to a less refined beep right after an update of some kind. drive for a little while or do a few key cycles and it will revert back to normal.

I’ve tried to update the sync system but it will not update in the background like it’s supposed to. It also will not pick up where it left off either. I’m going to address this issue on my next service visit.

You can also create a USB thumb drive from Ford's Owner site to update. It is also faster :)
