Ignition Chime Distortion

So as of last night the chime in my cars dash (for parking brake alerts, initial key insertion, etc) has been sounding distorted. Is there any easy way to check or fix this? It gets rather annoying quite quickly.

Any sound clips? Do you suspect the buzzer?

It is rather random, so I haven't been able to catch it often. I think it has to do with how cold it is. Yesterday it as 19F outside when I started her up at 530AM. I will try to get audio clips of it.
