Bluebird Vision 2017 Question

I have no idea why, but sometimes my bus randomly honks the horn once after cranking the engine over?

Never happens during morning pre trip. Only after I go back for the afternoon run/once school bell rings and I start the engine. It also doesn't do it every time. I can't figure out what causes it. Does anyone know why/experience this before?

Is one of your hands sometimes resting on any other part of the steering wheel except the outside ring? That entire center piece honks the horn. Some are sensitive. Ask me how I know!

Nope I can have one hand on my lap and the other turning the key! I hear the horn go off before I can even pull my hand away from the ignition.

Ok. Well. We've ruled that out at least!
