Hi,

Forgive me if this post is in the wrong section. 

I'll try and describe the problem the best I can.

When I remove the key from the ignition after every drive I get what I can only describe as a very short audible sound which starts off loud then fades out within seconds. I'm sure it's coming from the ignition barrel or somewhere near ? 

This happens when I take the key out the ignition and before I set any alarms or lock the car etc. 

I probably haven't described this very well but hopefully somebody may have an idea what this could be or had a similar experience.

Thanks in advance for any advice.

Paul

Do you still have the power sounder fitted?

[PAULCDX]

Not sure to be honest as I haven't had the car long. Not sure what I'm looking for 

If it is connected could it be this? Just wondered why it happens after key removal ? 

[omega3000]

think i know what sound you mean , i heard it today on mine as i took the key out ignition . It sounds like a squeaky toy but quieter 

Maybe just the audible open door alarm not sounding properly .

[PAULCDX]

Could be but it sounds when the door is closed and the key removed.

Power sounder lives under the driver's side of the wiper scuttle ............. http://www.omegaowners.com/forum/index.php?topic=90675.0  They do chirp as they die/about to die 

[PAULCDX]

Haven't heard any chirps at all but could it sound when I'm taking the key out the ignition ?

Guess it's best to get it disconnected if it hasn't been done already and then see if the sound is still there on key removal

Lights on/key in warning buzzer losing a static charge would be my guess, but don't ask me how or why it happens 

[Dave DND]

Power sounder gives a noise when keys put in and power applied, not when taken out and power removed - highly unlikely to be that

Nope, power sounder give a number of beeps on key removal from ignition

Does it have a after market HU fitted?

Makes sense that 
I get the same thing on my Mv6
Standard 2013 head unit and the power sounder is removed

[PAULCDX]

Not sure if powersounder has been removed but I still need to check when I get 5 mins 

My car had a CCR2006 fitted and now has a sony aux CD player which was fitted last week. Nothing to do with that is it ? 

[omega3000]

It sounds like an MV thing  Mine has aftermarket HU also

I had an Astra G that came with an after market head unit in it ...... that used to do a strange chirp of sorts when the key was removed. Sorted with a GM head unit. (it was a while ago no so details are a little misty now  )
