Blinker noise too loud

[JBnorthTX]

But this topic is about Ethel complaining from the other end that the blinker is too loud over the phone.

I'm reading through this thread for the first time and it's funny how many didn't understand that. Reading comprehension fail.

You seem at least as interested. I have a kid driving now and I drive all day so I hate distracted driving as well. I like a good argument that's all.
Has it occurred to you that from your original post on this thread you come off as condescending?

Good arguments don't rely on ad hominem attacks.

The OP asked a question, instead of offering a solution you proceeded to tell them what he should or shouldn't be doing.

Jeez, tough crowd.

Wow, 13 pages about something we can do absolutely nothing about……. has this reached record status?

There were some islands of solutions in the raging sea of entertaining replies.

When blinkers are too loud, just turn your music up louder and enjoy the rest of the phone call.
Problem solved!

Try it after you change the bulbs to LED!

When you are more mature, like myself, with hearing lose, you will like the noisier signal.

And if I start singing along - the issue will be taken care of by them hanging up!

I’ll second that! How many of us have followed a vehicle for miles with the left blinker on?

BTW, Nascar is adding a senior division next year. They'll go 300 miles with their left blinker on . . .

I haven't read through this whole mess to see if anyone has provided a constructive suggestion.

I believe the speaker for the blinkers is on the back side of the instrument cluster. You can pull the cluster and put a piece of foam between the speaker and the speaker grill to reduce the volume. If that's not enough, put a piece of duct tape over the speaker.

Yes I can use Google I'm willing to bet that I'm going to see a variety of different studies coming to a variety of conclusions. Again not disagreeing on the fact that calls are still distracting but what is the solution? Seeing the amount of money that companies have and that these corporations own Congress you're not going to get anything done on it nationally at least. If you have things like Android auto or carplay banned then people will just go back to holding the phone in their hand. Do we have significant driver data from the before radios were in cars to compare to after?
Hold on I saw that you're in florida, you guys let orangutans drive golf carts down there and you're going to tell me I can't talk on my phone?....

Must be in one of The Villages. Thousands of monkeys there.

People keep telling me the blinker noise is very loud and annoying when on a phone call. Especially if at a long traffic light waiting to turn. Anyone else hear this complaint and does anyone have a work around for it?

If people are complaining that the blinker noise is to loud, tell them to call you later when your home with no background noise. A loud noise reminds drivers they forgot to shut off there signal after changing lanes with only slight movement of the steering wheel.
