Question Strange Music from Steering Wheel

New to this forum but have an amusing problem. Bought a 2010 Camry XLE last fall. Last week while driving downtown heard music coming from the steering wheel area. Never heard it before. Consisted of 13 notes of a tune that sounds like it belongs in an Ice Cream truck. Happy music with no known cause. Happens with the radio on or off. Happens with my cell phone turned on or off. Any clues??

I'm curious to know what it is exactly. The only thing I can think of is the ding dong sound when door open with key in the ig. Or maybe some kid was in his car and drop his gameboy under the driver seat.

Once, a cig bud stick to my shoe and dropped in my car...omg it stink. Bug me enough that I turn my car upside down to look for it.

Bad drugs? Or maybe some real good ones?

Are the pills purple?

Seriously! 13 notes. Ice cream song. And my husband heard it too. Happened 5 times now so far. Yesterday it was after we had driven downtown and then passed a particular spot on the highway. Went back and passed the spot again - same music. Not nuts, honestly.

Any chance someone dropped a cell phone in the front area of your car?

Interesting...Perhaps it's some sort of speed camera alert or something
