As mentioned, it's related to incomplete boot of the electronics when you turn on accessory power or ignition. What isn't said is that I'm completely convinced this is related to battery voltage. I think when the battery is drained the truck must more completely shut down the computer which would normally be ready to boot immediately.
I think this because my dashcam runs full time off the OBDII, even when the vehicle is off, and in the last year I'll often see a loading bar on the main screen saying something like "system turned off to conserve battery". I think my dashcam has caused the factory battery to deep cycle more than intended and now it's prone to doing this a lot. I haven't gotten around to replacing the battery but I'll bet money it will fix the chime symptom.
