Has anyone noticed that the "Artist Alert" on Sirius satellite radio and the VSC traction control beeping on 4runners sound EXACTLY the same?

When my girlfriend gets nervous about driving on ice, I just tell her it's the radio and not the truck

We hit some ice up in the hills last night and the traction beep starts blowing up. She looks over and says, "Is this an artist alert or a song alert?"

That is crazy because I know what you're talking about but our 01 does not make any noise, it just starts pulsing the pedal while throwing the light on the dash.

Coming down from the hills last night I got swirly on a back road. The traction control and Sirius started beeping at the same time as I started getting sideways on some ice. When I straightened out, I looked at the song alert: "Highway to Hell". Ironic.
