Default 2016 XC90 - What is this alarm/warning sound?

We hear a very concerning alarm once we start driving the car, it happens 20 seconds or so after we start driving the car. It sounds like an alarm, but there is no message on the odometer or the main display to indicate anything is wrong. We just bought the car used from a Volvo dealer last week, and it’s been making the noise since day one. Any ideas?

FWIW we also have 2 car seats in the car in case it’s related to seat belt warnings or something like that. Though, again there’s nothing on the dash to indicate something like that.

According to the dealer, it was an alarm they forgot to turn off after selling the car. They said they turned it off, if it doesn’t stay off I’ll be back to update, but hopefully that’s all it is
