Turn signal and seatbelt warning chime is failing or broken

As the title states, what ever makes the turn signal and seatbelt warning chime is failing or broken. It sounds awful! Is there a part that can be replaced or is it a matter of switching the cluster? Thanks guys

The speaker can be replaced. I changed mine out but disconnected again as the seat belt, door open etc chimes drove me mad. The speaker in in the cluster and is soldered into the circuit board. The replacement was around $35 from Germany. No need to replace the cluster. It is quite a common issue.

Great response, thanks! I'd be down with disabling the speaker altogether. Any tips on accessing the location?

Many thanks.

Very easy to get to, I think 4 screws hold in the cluster. Lower the steering column, remove the screws and disconnect the wires. Remove speaker and reassemble.
