Intermittent Warning bell

Any thoughts on this would be welcome. For the last three or four days when driving a warning bell wild would ding once or twice than nothing for 5 to 10 minutes.
then it does again. there were no dash warning lights that stayed on but I think the light for the overdrive on/off blinked so fast I could not read it for sure but it was right in that spot.

Stopped at the dealer and they hooked up the computer but it had no codes.
They said if it continued to do this to bring it back and they would start looking and I could see the dollar signs in their eyes.

All the gauges were right were they normally run, the motor sounded normal and and it shifted like always. Does this sound like a ground problem some place, maybe the ground for the automatic transmission and if so where is that located.
