That ding-dong thing before take-off!

Hey gals and guys!

Was wondering if anyone could enlighten me on something thats bugged me for a while. You know when you board a plane and taxi and are about to turn onto the runway for take-off there is always the sound of the tone that goes ding-diog ding-dong and it sounds like some passenger has pressed the call-bell. Have noticed this on a few flights and wondered if this meant anything. Does this indicate to the cabin crew that take-off is imminent?

Many thanks for your replies!!!
