Ok..the ignition switch is probably loosing a ground signal, it is a pretty common issue on those, I would at least try to get it scanned and see what codes are stored, for the time being you should be able to pull a fuse to eliminate the chime noise it may be tied to another circuit such as cigarette lighter or rear wiper etc..
