Google Maps odd sound

Kinda crazy... I have a 2020 Lariat, iPhone 12 and use Google maps mostly. Everything is updated. From time to time (seems when around hotel areas, or even rest stops) I get a mysterious Boink, or doink sound from my carplay speaker, and it's associated with Google maps. It happens at radon times, but is repeatable in certain areas (ie out of town and by Hotel environment). I have no idea, maybe iPhone trying to connect to an ATT tower for wifi and changing between cellular and wifi, really no idea. Happen probably 5 times over the weekend while traveling, and has done it before. Anyone else or any ideas what it could be?

It may come from the way you have your google assistant configured. If you are using google maps, it will "let you know" when you're near stuff/places you supposedly want to know about.

If you were using android auto, you can tell it to shut up. I have no idea what's going on with apple car play.
