Chime when I step on the brake pedal

Just started yesterday, I am getting a chime on the dash when I step on the brake pedal. Not every time, but it seems to happen more often if I step on the brake pedal a little faster. No lights on the dash come on, just a single chime. Any ideas where to start?

2007 Ram 2500 4x4 - about 32k on the miles. - J

And it's usually one of the middle bulbs. There are three for each taillight assembly and they are all the same bulb BTW. This will start before the bulb has fully failed too....

True that...

Yeah, when this happened to me (and not putting 2 and 2 together that it was chiming when I hit the brake) I went on for a full 2-3 days of this while calling every "service tech" I could think of at the locals dealers. NOT ONE of them could help me..."never heard of that before"!
Finally got my answer here

I started getting the brake chime today, but also noticed on the left turn signal. So, I guess that even tells me which bulb is out. Thanks for the info. I started thinking this was something that was going to be expensive.
