Default 997.2 Beep when pushed hard?

I get a beep when I push the car hard (basically understeer), I am not sure what it could be. Does the traction control beep? I wonder if a frunk switch that is flaky could do this? I don't see anything on the dash that I can discern. Any ideas?

You have the speed alarm setting set?
That's 100 percent what the beep can be.

I set my speed limit for 65 mph, and it goes off all the time, but I like the warning, so I keep it turned on.

Sounds the the speed alarm. You can reset that in some deep submenu from the stalk.

Yeah I checked that, it was set at 31 mph, but wasn't "armed". I set moved it to 100 mph and left it not armed. We shall see if that does anything. I am wondering if it could be movement in my hood microswitch, for brief moments it registers the hood open which would cause a beep I think, then the hood repositions and settles back and makes the switch good. More investigation is needed.

Problem identified!
I heard the beep when pushing the car into the corners especially during autocross and some other right-hand corner's on the streets. I was searching for an answer and thought maybe it's something popping open like a frunk or a trunk or something like that. Then I took it out and beat it up a little bit. And figured that it only occurred in right-hand corner's. Well if you look back at Jeremy Clarkson's review of this car he mentions that his left knee when bracing hits the memory seat control. And I believe that's exactly what I am doing.

Glad you solved the problem but you sure you want to be pushing that hard on the street? Damn I must be getting old
