When you say a chime noise, can you get a recording of this so that we can better understand?

However, I suspect this is either a relay issue or an electrical short.

Also, we need to check and make sure the battery is not damaged. It needs a load check shown in this guide:

Next thing is we need to remove the fuses when this is happening to find out what circuit the issue is on. I would start with the fuses shown in this diagram below.

Let me know if you have questions on this and what you find and we can go from there. Thanks
