Startup Chime Louder Sometimes

[yuba]

Hi, I have a '24 STX and over the last couple weeks the truck has started doing the Ford startup chime differently sometimes. It's louder / more grating than normal and sounds like it is coming from a different position.

Is there a fix for this? Can the chime be entirely disabled?

Thanks.

Usually low battery state of charge that causes a delay in the radio turning on at start up. There’s a backup speaker in the cluster that plays those chimes when the infotainment hasn’t booted up to play the sounds over the stereo speakers.

Weirdly, I have a friend with a '25 and after a recent software update his has started doing this too.
