Warning sound in car too low
I'm driving a Suzuki Celerio 1,000 c.c auto that has a warning buzzer if
I switch off the engine with the lights on. The trouble is that the sound is quite low and I have damaged hearing and often can't hear it. Is it possible to increase the volume of the warning device? I would ask the garage but I'm not due there for some months. pfj -- To contact the author then write to pfjames2000ATicloudDOTcom |

I'd say it depends where the buzzer or sounder is.
If its get atable then I'd imagine you could do it with a small amplifier of some kind or maybe a relay and a more beefy sounder. Brian -- ----- - This newsgroup posting comes to you directly from...

Otherwise you could add a new piezo driver triggered by the old one. With hearing damage you're likely to be beter off choosing a larger and thus lower frequency piezo. The size of the market for this is one, you're it, so you won't find anything ready made. Personally I wish all such things were banished from cars. I've always looked back to see the lights aren't on, what's so hard about that. NT |

I fitted aftermarket reversing sensors to the old Rover. The hatchback design makes it pretty difficult to guess the exact position of the rear bumper. The kit had a dash panel with flashing LEDS - one for each sensor - and a bleeper. Didn't want the LEDs and the bleeper was near inaudible once I'd fitted the dash unit out of sight inside the instrument nacelle. So simply got a larger piezo electric sounder from Maplin and replaced the much smaller one. If anything, it's now too loud. Intention is to build a better solution which includes different sound(s) for lights on warning (etc) too, and have an easy method of setting how loud they are. You'd have thought someone would do a chip with a selection of nice warning sounds and a few inputs, and enough of an output to drive a suitable sounder - perhaps a small loudspeaker. -- *Being healthy is merely the slowest possible rate at which one can die.
