What's this in cabin sound? (pew pew laser sounds at start, video)

[Boosted6G]

See title and video. Happens during startup. It occasionally happens when driving. Is this related to the auto start/stop disabler somehow (4D Tech version)? It sounds like it's coming from the lower left of the steering column, where my left shin might be.

Edit: I'm almost certain it didn't do this when I picked it up..I would have noticed. It seems to have started around the time I installed the 4D Tech ASS eliminator, but don't know exactly. The truck seems fine other than this pew pew sound when I start it up. If no one has ideas I'm going to yank out the 4D Tech and see what happens. Also, nothing in the OBD port (like a GPS tracker).

I have no idea, but it sounds important.

Either that, or someone left a toy laser gun from 1987 in the door pocket.

Bueller?? Nothing?

I have a lariat with the 4Dtech eliminator and the perimeter security plus module. No pew pew sound for me.

Check your OBD port and make sure there isn't a pass through connector going to some sort of GPS tracker.

First thing I checked, nothing there.

Okay, I finally found some other videos/discussion about this on other forums. It's some kind of bullshit security/tracking system the dealer installed, but it's not in the OBD port, it's somewhere under there.

I hate dealerships.

Okay, figured it out. The dealer I bought from installs gps trackers in all their cars due to thefts from the dealership, they just didn't deactivate it and it started making this noise when I got outside their tether fence for the area. They simply deactivated it once I talked to them. I'll leave it as is for now, maybe investigate removing it completely later.

Thing that pisses me off is this was a retail order, I paid cash, and I picked it up the day after it arrived. I told them it was bullshit they installed it and they just said "(shrug) We put them in all the cars that are delivered. Hurrrrdurrrrrrrrrr."
