Mystery chime?

2001 F450/6.8 gasser. Auto trans. This strange thing just appeared from nowhere. Start the truck, put it gear. As soon as the truck starts to roll, the chime begins to sound. If I continue on, it'll beep 80 or 90 times before stopping. As soon as brakes are applied and the wheels stop turning, chime disappears. Happens in forward or reverse.
No lights appear in the cluster. A check with an Actron scanner shows no codes or MIL. Seat belts are buckled. It's at the local indie shop now, but I wondered if anyone here has run across this?

Is the e-brake pedal loose??? Not loose enough to cause the light to come on but still slightly loose and on?

Could be worth a look. But the truck's in the shop now. No word yet. I do use the E brake because it has to be on to activate the power to the Telsta bucket.

Or, the e-brake switch is sticking?

******* move on my part. Apparently after the last use, the e-brake pedal didn't release 100%. Brakes didn't drag and the indicator light in the dash didn't come on.
Oh well. At least I got the oil changed for the new business season while it was there.
