Default My own car honks at me? Quickly please...

Hey guys,
I have a 2010 GT and I was out driving it in a crazy amount of rain today when it started honking at me. About every 5 seconds it would honk at me starting after the autolock when you get up to whatever mph it is. It is just one honk at a time, not like the alarm. No warning lights, no doors open, trunk not open, handbrake off, wtf? I've never heard of this and I can't find anything like it in my owner's manual.

When driving in the rain, did you go through any deep puddles? Are your floor boards wet?

I know what you're thinking, but in a '10? I assumed that issue was resolved after the '09s...

Nope, nothing deep. Standing water, yes, but not more than 2 or 3 inches.

Oh and I forgot to say that if I hit the unlock button on the key, it stopped until I locked it again.

Well I don't think there are any known fixes for that :\ since I haven't ever heard of anybody running into that issue before on the forums at all. I would say it's time to head over to the dealership since that's definitely not right lol.

I finally decided to call the dealer (Galpin) and after getting the runaround for about 15 minutes a guy finally told me that a sensor was probably wet and that I had to come in. I'll let you guys know how that goes as I am skeptical that anything can be found if it isn't raining. I live in Southern California so this amount of rain is very rare (8 inches yesterday alone). Btw I've had it since May.
