strange noises at high speeds
Was travelling at 150 mph on a open airfield, I started to hear strange noises like morse code, some weird beeping noise. It wasnt the parking sensors, I backed off to normal speeds and no sign of the nosie. Anyone know what it is?

Hmmmm, I haven't heard that type of sound at those speeds. No message popped up on the dash display? Other than that, I dunno. I wish I had an airstrip.

Mine is solid at 150. How long were you going that fast before it did it? Any idea where it was coming from? Sure your cell phone didn't just get spooked?

This is when you pull on the steering wheel for lift-off.................

On a serious note, I have had a number of 55s at that speed and did not noticed any beeping.

If you have access to STAR check for any logged codes.
