Turn Signal Click problem...
My 2002 cab has turn signals that, when activated, work fine except you can barely hear the clicking sound that goes with the blinkers.
Any way to turn up the turn signal volume? Thanks!
I'm LOVIN' my 996!

Perhaps try a new flasher relay. Top row of the relay panel 3rd from the left

The company car ('12 Focus) is silent so Ford installed a noise generator that give a fake clicking sound when the signals are on.

So the complaint is that Bosch relays are too quiet?
I checked the manual, and it turns out there are lights on the instrument cluster that flash repeatedly to let you know the turn indicators are on.
Why do people not scan the instruments as part of driving? In addition to allowing you to notice when you've ripped off your direct oil feed line and lost all oil pressure, or the temperature has deviated from the upper left quadrant of the "0" in "180" to another quadrant, or the blinker fluid supply is nearly depletion, or the blinking light on the temperature gauge yelling about one of the dozen things that damn thing can gripe about, you also get to see how fast you're going. Handy info! "Do you know how fast you were going" is supposed to be a rhetorical question...
My turn signals are not loud enough: solid candidate for the "first-world problems" list...

Wife's Mini makes a really annoying tock tock tock tock tock tock sound for the turn signals. Drives me crazy. I don't use turn signals anyway. Why give away where I'm going? Let them figure it out.

OP, it would be trivial to add a piezo buzzer - or even a remote relay that clicks somewhere closer to you - if you have any electronics background. If not, I could probably draw you up a simple schematic*.
While I do want to tease you more about this, it wouldn't be a big deal to "fix."
*Full disclosure: I'm also the guy whose dash emits smoke when my headlights are on, and I can't f*****g figure out why, so you may or may not want to accept electrical advice from me.

OP is a musician (and a good one!), so like me is likely challenged a bit in the auditory dept. I too find I've left my signal on occasionally (doh!), and think our signal clicks are on the quiet side, but can't say I've thought about making them louder.
But I understand OP's request.

I find my signals barely audible and also barely visible on the dash during the day.
