How can I quieten the reversing beeper on a mobility scooter,
preferably leaving the "horn" functionality normal? It's quite
a new machine, for road & pavement.

That's what I'd suggest as it won't invalidate the warranty.

Failing that, contact the supplier, they'll probably sort it for free.

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.

If I remember correctly on the wifes TGA superlight I removed a link which
stopped the horn when reversing but allows the horn to work when the button
is pushed. check with a maintenance/repair company who will be able to tell
you if yours can be disabled.

The only thing I wonder about that is whether there is a requirement
to have this operative if it being driven on the road. IIRC, one has
to have an orange flashing light on a pole for that?

My father's one, which is more like a golf buggy is a pavement type
and has a button operated horn but not a reversing beeper.

Quite the reverse sorry, it's only HGVs that are allowed/required to have
reversing beepers for road use. Perhaps it's the pavement use that makes
it necessary or a selling point by the manufacturer.

My car has a reversing beeper and was made that way and so does the

wouldn't think so as places like Halfords sell the kits.

Council vans use them as well (the average Transit sort) for safety
reasons. Lights are covered by regulations but beepers should not be.

This is the best reference I can find for this subject, it may be out of date:

Reversing alarms

68. Regulation 99 of the Road Vehicles (Construction and Use)
Regulations+3+ permits reversing alarms to be sounded on roads on
goods vehicles with gross weight not less than 2000kg, buses, engineering
plant and works trucks. This discourages the fitting of reversing alarms to
many vehicles because they need to be switched on and off depending on
where the vehicle is used.

If you call your supplier, you may find that the reversing bleeper can be
shut off completely with them attaching a programmer to your scooter.

I would note that the statues were mainly not erected at the time of the
event.

The main complaint was that the statues were often erected as a
celebration of racial discrimination in the early part of the 20th Century
at the height of apartheid/segregation and the "Jim Crow" laws designed to
make ex-slaves second class citizens.

Allegedly.

I have a 'phone from a well known manufacturer, and I got a job with a
company that supplied them chips. It so happened that the Christmas
before I started they'd had a major panic, and several people had spent
Christmas in exotic climes (No, it wasn't Apple!). It also so happens
that this manufacturer had used the same tone on their internal security
doors as for the incoming SMS tone on the model that I have.

I had to change the tone. People were getting flashbacks

You can't stop doing something just because "some people" will object to it.

How about songs sympathetic to the Confederate cause, such as "The Night

I use the same one. Everyone under 60 thinks it's from the Austin Powers
movies.

I once recorded my own ring tone, using my name and callsign played out
in Morse - I was curious if anyone might be able to hear and decode it.
No one ever did

We have IP phones around the house (a lot of them). We also have
dedicated numbers for each member of the household. The phones ring
differently according to which person's number is being called.

The 'ring tone' is the Morse for each person's initial.

I would not go that quite far

I have though assigned different ring tones to different people who
might ring, based on whether they might be ringing for me or for Jean,
or for either of us.

Not surprised. Morse is a dying skill among radio amateurs, never mind the
general public.

I've just put a flash code in the firmware of a device (not yet
released) so that if it fails to load it flashes dit dit dah dit.

That means it's failed. Or F-something
