Quiet the Tick-Tock?

I'm talking about the turn signals this time, I know there's been a lot of discusion about the Boop-boop seat belt noise, but I would like to turn this down as well. Is there a way to do it that I just haven't found yet?

I agree, I wish it could be turned down more.

Luckily mine never made a noise. I'm not sure why it doesn't work but I'm not trying to fix it.

you can't satisfy everbody. if the signal alert was quiet , there would be those who complained that they didn't know their signal was on and they t-boned a car who pulled out in front off them thinking they were turning. its a safety issue.

True enough, there are those older folks who don't hear well who prefer to have a loud signal so they can make sure they aren't driving with it on.

It seems so many other things about this car are "tuneable", I just wondered if there was a way to turn the volume down on this too..........

I would take the flasher to your local auto parts store and tell them you are looking for a "quiet flasher" to replace the factory one. They should have one in stock.
