Default Door Chime Scratchy Sound

When it's cold out the door chime sound is scratchy.

Where is this sound made?
Is there a speaker, if so, where is it?

Both mine and my fiancee's Camaro's do it so to me when 2 out of 2 of our cars do it, I aint much worried about it UNLESS someone chimes in and says its either an easy fix or it will/may cause problems down the road. And come to think about it, I've heard other vehicles do it. Not just Camaro's/Trans-AM/Firebirds. But unless you want it fixed, maybe someone will chime in and let us know what it is.

The chime sound comes from the Body Control Module (BCM). I suppose it might be possible to take it apart and replace the internal speaker but I've never heard of anyone doing that.
