Is this normal?

[doznkoz]

Two weeks of ownership. Maybe this has been covered before but I cannot find a thread about this.
Everytime I go over a decent size bump in the road or lets say a pothole, I hear a beep coming from somewhere. I think it is beeping twice. I see no indication of anything happening on the dash so I am at a loss for what it is about. Anyone have any idea what it is? I have meant to call the dealer about it but I always forget to.
Thanks.

I don't have a Tremor but have been off road and over a lot of bumps with mine and the beeping doesn't sound normal. Is there anything aftermarket installed that could cause this?

My dash cam reads some bumps as collision and makes a beep. I had to change the settings to change the sensitivity.

Might be traction control activating for a slit second - does anyone know if our traction control warning has an audible tone?

Dave & Chris, you are intelligent men! Your comment made me realize that it just might be the Thinkware U1000 dash cam I had installed. I just researched the device and you are correct. The camera is intepreting the bump as an accident. Two beeps. Since it is on continuous recording I don't think it does anything different other then place the video in the "accident" folder for viewing later. For sure I will have to mute the sound when off roading. That could get annoying.
Thanks for the quick response. Saves me a trip or call to the dealer where I would look kind of stupid.

Whew...I was wondering why my Tremor doesn't beep! Thought I was missing something!
Seriously, I am glad you guys helped Lee find the source of the beeping! Sounds like an easy fix!

Glad you found it Lee. Funny because I have the exact same dash cam but I do have the sound muted as it drove me crazy while driving.

Now, if we can just get that fleet Ranger in Montreal back up and running.

I've not experienced an audible tone.

No barking spiders either.
