Default Inner alarm noise!

Hello
I am a new Lexus driver, as I have received my aunt's 1994 SC300 as my first car. Everything was fine until the day I let my sister drive my car: ever since then, a strange alarm goes off whenever I turn off the car and open my door.
Any clues as to what it might be? I know that it is not the "you left your lights on" alarm, as I know what that one sounds like. This one is different, and I have not owned and driven this car long enough to know what that sound means.
Thanks for the help!

Do you think it would be possible for you to make a video for us?

Check to make sure the sunroof is closed all of the way. If the sunroof tilt is open is chimes to remind you. I would bet that is your problem.

gifford546 is right on the money, if i the sound is a high pitch beeping tone, its the sunroof reminder. Oddly, it only beeps if its tilted open but not if its slid open
