Warning noise started ... and never stopped

Yesterday morning I started my car up and the typical dinging noise the car makes when you've turned on the car and haven't buckled in started. The sound didn't stop with I put the belt in and never stopped. Even with the car off the sound just kept on going. It was off when I went out at lunch to check, but for the entire commute and after I turned it off the stupid thing was beeping. Even the blinker didn't make any noise because its probably at the same source of that noise (since newer cars don't use relays). It hasn't happened again since yesterday mornings commute, but I was wondering if anyone has heard of this yet. Seemed weird but I guess since this car is so computer controlled its possible. I hope it wont be a reoccurring problem, don't want one of those that'll never be wrong when its at the dealer but always frustrating to me.

Did you have anything in the right seat? It does this to me occasionally if I have my purse there. Cure is to fasten the seat belt on that side.

No, nothing in the seat. No warning lights on the dash indicating there was something wrong. This definitely was a electrical/computer problem. Anything normal should have turned off once I took the keys out.

Weirdness - have your dealer check it out as soon as possible.
