  I noticed the chimes are predominant on Volvo buses. Always suspected the vehicle was low on fuel when the chimes sounded. At the same time, a red light would appear on the dashboard.

  I encountered this last Monday on 9589 (sv 74).
  Amongst hearing the sound, the bus driver stepped on the accelerator (with brakes locked), until the sound stopped.

  my guess is incorrect engine oil pressure.
