My beep does not work.

I've had her to 9000 (and a bit beyond) and no beep. What type of beep is it? Is it a subtle noise or real loud? I wonder if the dealer turned it off, mine was the owners toy for 4000 miles.

It's a constant but subtle high pitch tone. Make sure to turn off your radio and keep the fan speed down. Many have reported that it was hard to hear, even though I don't have any trouble with it. I don't think you can turn it off.

It blends well with the high revolutions of the rotary.

To me it's very hard to hear, even with the radio off. As mentioned, it's a subtle high-pitch beep and similar in pitch to the rotary screaming at 9000k. I would rather it be more like the 2nd gen RX7's- that always got my attention (I've never had the pleasure of experiencing it on a FD though).

Can someone figure out the wiring mod to switch the redline beep with the you forgot to turn off your headlight noise? That's unmistakable.

The only time I do not hear mine is when I have the music cranked up. It sounds like a beep... normal everyday kinda beep, nothing alarming or annoying.

Sometimes it sounds like i am hearing the beep at like 6k rpms, but this doesn't happen always. I can usually hear the beep unless i am just cruising on the highway, the engine is music enough for me [/corny praise].
