Welcome to the Gong show

So, I just grabbed a 04/08 production 328xit to replace my '08 323i lease.

The gong on the wagon is extremely loud. When I adjust it's volume in the audio settings, it doesn't change. It's so loud it makes me jump.

Today, I briefly played with both cars.. the gong on the wagon is the same volume as the 323 when the 323 is set to maximum, so somehow the gong volume in the wagon isn't adjusting.

Any ideas?

Fasten your seatbelt?

Haha, i'm not saying it doesn't go away. I'm saying that its volume is incredibly loud. If I open the door, remove my seatbelt, drive away with the trunk open, pull the ebrake, etc, it gongs as normal. Except its epically loud. I have the volume set to -5 for it, but it makes no difference.

Turns out I'm not alone. Annoying:
