Default Single Chime after Starting Engine

After fastening the seat belt (so the seat belt warning chime won't sound) then starting the engine, there is a single subdued chime (ding sound) from the dash that I suppose is trying to tell me something. Does anybody know what that "something" is?

I've never really noticed it trying to tell me something, it's most probably just part of the design.

Solved! A guy at the Lexus dealer said it sounded like an IPhone powering up. Sure enough, I had put my IPhone in the center console; the car was innocent.
