So I noticed that i dont hear the beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep when im in the red... its supposed to be fairly loud right? i surely dont hear it with the radio off when i get to 9500rpm....

is there a fuse/relay somewhere that might need to be replaced?

 

if memory serves me right i believe it beeps at 8500, not 9500. it's not really that loud but you should be able to hear it without the radio on.

 

8500 = beeeeeep.
It's not very loud, if you have the radio on or the windows open you might not hear it.

 

Watching videos on youtube it seems pretty loud? i wish i could hear it in mine

 

Just get your passenger to watch your tach and make a beeping noise when it hits 8500

 

best.advice.ever

 

I thought the same originally but I found that I wasn't in the range long enough.

 

It's hard for the passenger to see the tach, unless she is crouched over for some reason.

When your redlining, then you can easily fail to notice the beep since you are concentrating so hard on the road. I've gone the maximum rpm's the engine could one time.

 

I hear the beep and it's pretty loud... My car then hesitates if I don't switch gears...

 

i must have a case of the weak beeps.
where is the beeper located?

 

Just turn off the radio and redline the 8. Unless you have a hearing aid, you'll hear it.

 

my radio was off :\
no beep

 

Yup, no beep here either.

 

Listen and feel the car. You don't need a beep.

 

They paid for a beep, so they should get a beep.

 

I want beep!

 

I remember reading another thread where there was no beep... what was the solution... *ponders*

If you're under warrantee, take it to the dealership and demand your beep.

 

Then they'll try to throw that you're over rev-ing the engine and void your warrenty=)

not that it should...but you know dealer...

 

How old are you? Sensitivity to high pitch frequencies is the first to go.

 

I guess your car is broken.

 

Actually, the guy I always speak with at my dealer gives the exact same advice as you see here on the boards... redline it regularly, constantly check the oil, etc... but mostly he stressed the redline it regularly bit, mostly because it's more fun that way. :-p So, I think it depends on your dealer.

 

I love the beep although I also wanted a shift light like the new Si's.

 

Beep is earned, not a given.

 

Odd my AT 04 4 speed don't beep. It once did then that was it. Come to think of it a light came on and when I went to the dealer they said the airbag light had to be replaced along with the airbags. Odd???

 

do the A/T's have a beep also?
