Blinker noise is annoying.

Is it just me but I think the blinker noise is annoying like Chinese water torture and to loud?

I’m ok with the blinker. I wish the horn was louder.

It is funny because some people have said the noise is too quiet and they cannot hear it and others have had this complaint. Personally I think the volume is fine but the tone isnt the best. Its a hollow thunk and I prefer a warmer sound.

I like the blinker sound a lot more than traditional blinkers. Here is a video of how they made it

That makes me appreciate it a lot more. Thanks.

Do you drive with no audio on at all? I think they are too quiet and I routinely forget they are on. My gripe isn't so much with the lack of noise but the overuse of unnecessary technology which has led to a purely digital system and away from the tried and true physical solution of a stalk that would stay in the signal position. Its kind of like the digital vent controls, except at least in that case it was arguably for aesthetics but with a much larger loss in functionality. I can see no reason to remove the physical stalk holding even if was all digital in the background.

Just you. I love it.

Most people say it's too quiet. Must be something wrong with your vehicle.

I was waiting for someone to go there.

Seriously though, if the noise bothers you drain, flush and refill your blinker fluid with a full synthetic, which should fix it.

its you. thats irresponsible not to use the blinker because you find it annoying.

Everyone that says it's just you is wrong: I posted a similar thread a few months ago. The blinker noise is objectively terrible!

Two people disagreeing in the face of overwhelming consensus is definitely "objective", yessir.

I really like it and it seems like most people do, but there's room for disagreement and it's reasonable to want to change or make it customizable.

It's not reasonable to fail to signal because you don't like the blinker sound. Come on. (And speaking from experience, lawyers absolutely love to dig things like this thread up in discovery if you ever do cause an accident.)

Woosh. Man, you must be fun at parties...

I can't stand the blinker noise either so I literally no longer use my blinkers when at stop lights. Not sure what was wrong with the blinker noises we have been using for the last 75 years, but Rivian has to reinvent the wheel wherever and whenever possible.

Just my 2 cents...

Oh and also, if you offer any constructive criticism about Rivian in this forum prepare to get it interpreted as a negative comment and subsequently get roasted by what I call the "brand Myopians". They will tell you how your opinion is wrong, and theirs is the the truth and the way.
