2011 G37x Mystery Chime

Here's a question. On my 2009 G37xS, if I open the driver's door while the engine is running, the car starts beeping even if turn off the engine. It only happens if the car door is open while the vehicle is in park and the engine is running. If I turn off the engine and then open the door there is no beep. What is the beep for?
The G will also beep if you leave your headlights "On" and shutdown the car and open the door, but when you open the door again it will continue to beep.

go into each individual saved locations and there is an option to set up various chimes to sound if u get near them. Anything from a beep to dog's bark.

I had 4 destinations + home saved in my address book. One of the destinations (work) had a chime set for when I got near it. I changed the chime to a dog bark and, sure enough, heard it go off when I was pulling into work this morning.
None of the other destinations had chimes associated with them, and I'd heard the mystery chime when I wasn't near work. BUT, since I scrolled through the destinations and verified all the others had their chime notifications off, I haven't heard the sound anymore.
What a long way of saying I think this is resolved now. Thanks to everybody for the help!

False, there are no low battery beeps
there is a glitch with Windows Mobile phones, which the sound would play, but the sound is whatever sound your phone makes.
But I'm not walking away from the car. I'm still sitting in the driver's seat. The only thing I've done is open the door while the engine is running and the car is in park. If I shut off the engine with door still open the beeping doesn't stop. It'll keep going until I shut the door.
I know people with new Infiniti Ms who have the same thing happen to them so it seems to be some sort of Infiniti thing.

False, the car does not make any sounds if your blackberry gets an email.

True, this could be it
False, the car does not beep if you drive near a saved destination
The car makes a single beep if you open the door while the car is running.

I have the 2011 G37x. It sounds like they've changed things from your model. Most of the above is referenced in the various manuals for the car.
It does have some type of audible warning for ICY, though I've never heard it there is a setting to disable it. I believe I remember from the manual that it will also chime and show something on the dash if your battery is low, but don't quote me on it.
Agreed that the car doesn't beep is you get an e-mail. I kinda wish it *did* do that.
The shifting beeps are not two-toned chimes, and only happen in manual mode, not DS or D.
The nav system, even with no route selected *does* play a chime and that was pretty much my mystery chime. It only does it if you tell it to. Why anyone would want this as a feature is beyond me.... "chime every time I drive by a destination even though I am not going to that destination" ... who wants that?
