NOISY indicators

[MarkOgden]

Is it just me or are the indicators really loud. Is there some way of controlling the clicking, it's disproportionately louder than any other car I have owned. It should be quieter as it's only a small space too fill. People on the phone ask why is it so loud, the neighbors ask me not to indicate when I turn into the street because it wakes sleeping children and gets the dogs barking. (OK...I went too far there) BUT THEY ARE BLOODY LOUD!!!!!!!! Anyone else notice or is it a feature, for deaf old geezers? Hmm....I resemble that remark.

Ask the dealer, go test it against another car. Mine are a touch louder than some other cars but then the cabin is noisier than most cars so I can still hear the clicking above road noise. There is no way to control this, its a relay.

Good idea thanks. Do you really think it is a relay? I thought it would be electronic, little piezo speaker that could be turned down or ripped out :x
I could always stop using them.

Not that I've ever checked, but in any car I've owned, its been a relay, its the cheapest way to do it.

Maybe louder for when the roof is down- you can still hear them over traffic?
