Ultrasonic parking sensors / fwd collision activating while not moving

So I have observes this phenomenon where the front collision sensors will just trip (false alarm) while I'm usually waiting for the light. This has happened generally when I'm behind a car. The front, left, right sensors just go on, and then off quickly.

Does this happen to anyone else? Are the sound waves somehow being reflected and fooling the USS?

I have the same problem. The sound system reduces volume (yes, I know I can turn that feature off or just turn up the volume). It seems to occur just when the program I'm listening to gets interesting. It's annoying, but I can live with it. I like the solution Mercedes uses (above). I'd rather have the safety features give an occasional false positive than not work at all. (This happens even more on my Ioniq 5 than my Ioniq Plug -in)

I have also noticed the front sensors randomly triggering when there’s nothing in front. On closer inspection , a couple of the sensors are looking corroded so maybe I’ll get the dealer to take a look and see if they need replacing. Actually, quite a lot of the silver trim around the car looks a bit corroded.
