In all seriousness it could be list of things, from a sensor or setting changed, to something wrong with your HU

Could it be just the gong being defective?

Your gong isn't working? That is simply not possible.

As all of us who watched the CNN "BMW, A Driving Obsession" special are aware BMW has scores of sound engineers assigned to making the gong perfect and spares no expense in the process!

I think you need to get your hearing tested.

What are you going to tell us next? That all 7 layers of paint on the pedals has worn off?

On a more serious note I do not believe that there is a "gong" as such. AFAIK that sound is electronically generated and comes out of the speakers.
It probably will require a trip to the dealer as there is probably not a simple electro-mechanical device that you can replace.

The hamster that bangs the gong is hungry, feed him and he will end his workstrike.
