I’m guessing car manufacturers have caught onto this. I drove a year 2000 car whose speakers would know I was about to receive a text/call several seconds before receiving it. I don’t think I’ve been in a model later than 2008 that’s had this problem. The noise, like the AOL dialup modem beeps, are one of those things that become cemented in your brain and immediately recall themselves as soon as you think about them. I heard the short succession of beep patterns in my head as I read your comment.
