You mean your car had been parked overnight and when you went to your
car in the morning with the engine off it was emitting a tone? Could
it be something aftermarket? Never heard anything like that from my
1994 Accord and I've had it since day one. The only sounds the car
emits with the engine off are the <ding-dong> when the headlights are
left on and the <buzz> leaving the keys in the ignition with the door
open.
