Default Signal indicator click..

How about that signal click? Sounds like a tiny cowbell with a cheap jingle bell backing track. Oh well. Could be worse,

I kinda like it. It reminds me of the turn signal sound on my grandpa's 1960 Pontiac.

I'm glad there are people who can appreciate these trivial things that annoy me. I tried using hand signals but the ashes from my Parliaments stuck to the door.

Tareyton for me. I'd rather fight than switch.

What annoys me about the sound is that it is generated and emitted from somewhere right by the microphone for the hands-free phone. People on the other end of calls have commented on how loud it is.

I’ve heard the same exact thing from people on the phone.

I have chosen, at times, not always, to not signal a lane change on the highway because of the noise. The brief touch for 3 clicks is a nice feature.
I forgot about those Tareyton ads. Black eyes! Stuff was weird back then.
I had a Carly for BMW dongle that was able to customize the number of preset clicks for lane changes, among other things, on an X5.

I'm pretty sure my mother's Kia has a standard setting for 3-5-7 on that.

On the Tareyton issue, I'm in pretty much the youngest group that remembers TV ads for cigarettes. Even a few years younger, and I'd not have seen that I should "come up to the Kool taste" or to "come to Marlboro country."

My buddy just got a Rivian and the turn signal sounds like a harsh water drop. It's like I'm being audibly waterboarded lol. I'll take the F-Type turn signal
