Can't hear turn signal

The audible volume of my turn signal indicator is so low that I can't hear it over the engine noise and music. Is there a way to make it louder? I've tried doing things like adjusting the warning volume but it doesn't seem to make a difference.

Turn stereo volume down, raise windows, close sunroof. ![Wink](https://rennlist.com/forums/images/smilies/wink.gif)
Actually, never heard that complaint before. Most people are happy not hearing the turn signal indicator sound.

LEDs just don't blink as loud as old tech incandescent bulbs.

You should be thankful your Porsche HAS turn signals. BMWs don't.

That's the first thing I checked and the level is fine. Tried using different viscosities of Mobil 1 (10w40, 10w50, etc.) but didn't seem to help.
I switched to Sylvania 1156A bulbs. I'll try other brands but I'm certain the bulbs are not the problem.

Mr. Big, do you say, "What, honey?" to Mrs. Big a lot? Be honest. Or is this a non-selective hearing issue??

I think mine is not working well either. I do hear a sound but it doesn't stay on. It sort of clicks like it keeps trying.

OP, If it is adjustable (and I doubt it) , you might give this a try: on the MFD, go to Vehicle > Settings > Volume > Park Assist/Warning Signals
select LOUD
I have mine on Low because I don't like being yelled at by my car for things I'm well aware of.
