How can I quieten the reversing beeper on a mobility scooter,

a new machine, for road & pavement.

A small piece of masking tape partly over the hole in the sounder.?

But that would mean the horn will be lower tone as well?


Depends on the type of sounder.

If it's a typical piezo-electric one, the element is inside a
cylindrical container and there is a hole on the face of the
container. Obscuring part of the hole, reduces the sound level but
doesn't make any significant difference to the frequency of the sound.

It works for the beepers on PC motherboards as well.
