Default Beeping sound when turning off ignition

Hi!
Hope you're all enjoying your A7s

I've got a situation, it's not really a problem, but it's bugging me as I don't know why it behaves like this:
When I've parked my car and turned off the ignition the car's electrics and instrumentals are still on (like the MMI). When I open the door they all turn off and the screen in the middle console rolls down. All this is normal. But when the electrics turn off I hear a beeping sound coming from the speakers (I think it's the speakers). It goes "Beep Beep" (shorter beeps).

This has happened before, and it was like that for about a week everytime I turned off the ignition, then it went away and I didn't think about it anymore. Now it's here again, and I don't know why.

Can anybody shed some light?

Thanks!
S.

It is trying to tell you something .

Take it to the dealer and demonstrate it. They will hook it up to the computer and read the information that should reveal why the beeps are there.

Could it be that lights are on and it's trying to signal that?
Unlikely but would it have anything to do with parking sensors?

Only similar issue I have experienced is when forgetting to put the car in Park and opening the drivers door which triggers a warning sound?

and of course... now the sound is gone, so I can't really show it to the dealer. maybe they'll see it in the car log.

Hi, I know what you mean, but it's not that sound. It's a different beep
