Ice warning is the obvious at this time of year, but that switches the display to outside temp as it sounds.
Does the gong sound normal? The way it produces the sound can produce some odd effects.
The gong is actually an oscillator running continuously and producing a constant note. The volume is normally turned right down electronically, and to produce the gong sound the volume is increased and then turned down again
