Default 2014 interior warning alarm?

I dropped my truck off at the dealers to have the window tinted and bedliner sprayed in. Truck has less that 300 miles on it. When I start it up it get the normal door/light/keys in the ignition sound but now I am hearing another warning sound. Anyone have an idea what it is. The dealership said they had no clue and acted like it wasn't a big deal. This all started while in their possession. I have a link to a video below, let me know what you think.

Thanks,
SD07

Sounds like a electronic defect not a warning.

Sounds like taking your truck for diagnosis at another local dealership is the best first step, Saleendude07; they'll best be able to identify the sound you're hearing. For your convenience, feel free to use this tool to locate the next closest one to you and schedule an appointment.

Once you schedule that appointment, please send me a private message with your full name, VIN, best daytime contact number, servicing dealership information, and current mileage. I'll get this escalated to the regional customer service manager for your area.

I think it is fixed. I was told it was an anti theft device called SWAT that they forgot to deactivate when they gave me back my truck. I haven't noticed it again. Will report back it I do.

Scientific Wild Ass Tale? Never heard of it. Thought maybe something new for 14 so I ran my wife's suv thru oasis with system concerns related to secure as well as warning chimes etc,, came back empty.

If I had the vin# from a 14 truck I might be able to find something. But it sounds like a load of b/s. Fords anti theft is called PATS (passive anti theft system) and has been since it's inception umpteen years ago.

I'm going to have to do a little bit of digging to figure out what this is. I'll check my resources and, if I find anything relevant, will surely return with the information! Good question, depami.
