If you have anything sitting in your passenger seat it will set off sensor to seat belt....it took me 2 times to figure out what was doing it

Mine is doing the same thing, but the singing is intermittent, it takes me 45 min to get to work, 2 minutes before I pull in, it started dinging, after a minute, it dinged again, each time it was 4-5 times, the same amount it does when the seatbelts isnt connected. Nothing is in the passenger seat except my purse. I have a 2011 Chevy Equinox LTZ.

I have the same exact problem with my 2013 Chevy Equinox. I found something very interesting that I have never been told by a mechanic from Chevy. the bells ring at intermittent times and no warning lights are on. So, I decided to check fluid levels and found my oil level bone dry. I filled it up and guess what? No more dinging bell! So, check your fluid levels especially the oil. I have learned through the years that the low oil warning light doesn't seem to come on until your engine has blown up.

I have a 2017 Chevy equinox and I just had the oil changed 2 weeks ago. I have been hearing dinging ALOT lately and its driving me crazy. No lights. No indicator what it might be.

I had an umbrella window shade on the seat, when I couldn't figure out what was going on I took the window shade off the seat and voila no more dinging. I have since put the passenger seat belt on and used a gadget, they sell online, to tie the shoulder strap to the seat strap and all is well again.
