Question Turn signal volume

Is there a way to make turn signals louder. Warm weather, windows open, 55+ mph and sun roof open, all equal enough road noise to make the turn signals impossible to hear .

i found that signal noise in the E to be very annoying if you ask me, but the signal in the ML is so quiet lol

I agree. The turn signal mechanism feels "cheap" on my e350. I am considering upgrading to a facelift sport wheel and wonder if changing the clockspring stalk would make a difference.

The facelift Sport wheel in my 2016 sounds the same as every other Mercedes I've driven, including my 17 year-old Mercedes. I doubt any changes are possible, or desired by the factory.

It's a blinker sound, an audible confirmation of direction changes. It lasts as long as it takes to make a turn or change lanes. Develop the habit of using the turn signal for all direction changes, and the sound it makes is hardly necessary or important.

If I demand to hear the blinker sound, I turn down the stereo. Nah, who am I kidding?

Mercedes Benz w213
Hello,

My w213 blinkers sounds are off. The blinking flash lights but I hear no sound. I think also the front parking sensors sounds are not working.
Any idea what could be the issue?

If the front parking sensors don't work, it means that you're low on blinker fluid...

I prefer the Mobil 1 semi synthetic brand, but hey. Ride your own ride.

2023 EQE SUV 500 4Matic
I am frustrated with this issue in my 2023 EQE SUV. The blinker sound is way too low. One can easily not notice that a blinker is on even with the radio off in the relatively quiet interior of an EV. It can be hazardous, actually!
I asked at the dealer and they told me they get this question a lot - but that, as of now, there is no way to change the volume.
It totally amazes me because on the EQ cars you can change the volume of so many different things. Why not turn signals??

Find the dealie that makes noise and add a buzzer to it. I recall old school versions could be replaced with a louder one, which I saw at the parts store, but I doubt ours are the same. Pop it out and post a pix.
