Muted Chime

Yesterday my backup/cross traffic sensor was really loud. Today it is very muted like the speaker blew. Everything else works great including stereo. Going to bring it in for a look but wondering has this been seen before?

Its possible, pretty sure the chime is piped through the radio speakers,

let me check....

Here is a video of the sound. I noticed that the initial startup sound is also off. I confirmed however that the stereo sounds great no issues at all there.
