Hi,

You're lucky, mine makes me jump a bit every time it goes off. "Gong", jump, oh yah, it's 37 degrees, potential icy conditions on the roads. Humph.

I just hate that sound.

mines this loud...can you hear it!!

erm it should be audiable as a gong, if you think its quiet then its possibly come loose and is not directing the sound through the holes.

have a look above your pedals, i think you should be able to drop the cover down without taking off the panel next to the steering wheel but i cant remember and just make sure the beeper, steel round looking thing is seated correctly

the 1999 740i I just bought has a huge range of gong loudnesses. Some of them are quite loud, but others, like the Speed Limit warning is barely audible. Others, like the Temperature warning is somewhat soft. I don't know if this is by design, but it really seems strange to me.

i read somewhere that the gong has four different sounds, but mine is real quiet.

[netmgr]

the different sounds are for different events

speed warning
clock chime
ice warning
coolent low etc

you cant alter which sound is for what btw
