High end cars should come with dial option to turn up or down turn signal sound volume, and micro down/up adjustment of Windows. Just some new options to make more money and give choices.
p.s. separate HVAC fan speed for his/hers.

Yes, the turn signal sounds is annoying, especially stopped at a light. You can also tell it is coming from the left door upper speaker.

Great idea for Mary Barra to charge $5.99 per month for a downloadable sound. She puts in the worst sound as standard say like a fart as somebody mentioned. Then you have to pay $5.99 per month to change it. Okay folks you heard it here first. Don’t blame me. I’m just the one who compiled all of your great comments in to a new method for GM to use to dig further in to your wallets. Sam

You know it’s just an audio clip sent through the radio speakers nothing more. Ask your Dealer if GM allows them to change it through the diagnostic port. It may be possible to change it to a chime or some other sound.

Turn Flasher Crisis
I love my 2024 Torch Red Stingray, I love driving it, the seats, the power, sound and even washing every beautiful curve and crease. The car is fantastic.
BUT.... the turn signal sound just bugs me. It sounds like someone tapping on a hollow coconut. Just sounds cheap and weak.
I don't know what I expected, maybe the Jetsons car sound? What sounds does a jet fighter make when the pilot uses their directional?
I know its stupid so back I go to enjoy my wonderful new car. Maybe I just won't use the turn signals. Millions of BMW owners can't all be wrong........

I have no recollection what my c8 turn signals sound like.
if that’s something that bothers a particular person than imo that person leads a charmed life.
smile and enjoy the fact your life is so great something like a sound of any cars turn signals being on would be annoying..
that’s a charmed life.

"GM designed the interior to give it a luxurious appeal and then killed it with Fisher Price-style buttons stuck to the infotainment screen."
You mean the ONE ****?
Yeah, ruined it for me too.

This isnt the 70s and 80s anymore with the gas tank in the back behind your license plate..
As for the horn, most horns are operated by a switched 12-volt power feed, you can add a 2nd horn, or change the sound or sound level on your own as long as you have basic mechanical skills.
