At what RPM does the red line buzzer buzz. I've never heard this in my car yet.

8500 RPM

tru dat

?¿ Mine must be broken?

close the windows and turn the radio off. it's not a buzzer but more of a chime.

it's not very loud, roll up your windows, turn off your radio, and turn off your ac

me and jason posted the same thing at the same time :)

?¿ Mine must be broken?

It may be hard to hear because of the [Zoom Zoom].

I barely hear mine at times...

have too hear mine in 2nd gear everytime or i don't get aroused

I don't think Mazda took into account the noise coming from the Renesis at 8500 RPM's when they set the volume for that buzzer. I don't hear mine unless I'm watching the tach for the 8500 mark, and even then I have to strain to hear it.

I love to hear it. I yearn to hear it. Must hear it>>>>>>> sound of running out the door, zoom zoom beep
;)

mine too seams broken.. i have never heard it no matter how much i listen ..

but.. not to worried. they were built for 13 k :) so ill be fine hehe

I haven't heard my buzzer in about 1 month. Replaced it with the B&B :D

i firmly believe there is a break-in period for the buzzer - i never noticed it when the car was new and now i can't miss it :p

mine keeps ringing like liberty bell. you guys reving 8500 plus range?

I hear mine every day!!!

You guys might want to think about getting your ears cleaned. Try a q-tip.

It sounds like your ears are ringing to me so maybe thats why you can hear it. its kind of just a high pitched tone

Some one should make a replacement with like a foghorn or semi-tractor air horn for these guys. It be a lot of fun to see a passengers reaction when it went off.

I heard it. And I only drove an rx-8 2 times. First time was with a dealer that wanted me to open it up, and the other time was at mazda rev it up. :)

B&B ??

I listened very hard for the buzzer/beeper on my way home today. It's barly audioable over the Zoom-Zoom. I really would not have thought that it was buzzer if I did not know.

i wonder if you have the beep setting on the radio turned off will this deactivate the buzzer?

I now have the Borla installed so I cannot hear the beep at all anymore. Prior to Borla it was very difficult to hear. Perhaps it is louder in some cars than others? Does the beep come through the radio speakers?

Does the beep come through the radio speakers?
No it comes from behind the dash and sounds like a dying mouse.

LOL. A dying mouse. I like that. My mouse is dead then.

Anyone then gone on to hit the rev limiter? I did it once when going around a roundabout and got distracted so didn't change up from 1st. BTW it kicks in at 9,400 or 42mph in 1st gear. Ooops. Prior to this I did wonder is there was a rev limiter, as it keeps climbing into the red :-)

Yeah, bouncing the rev limiter's a lot of fun. Try to match the rev falloff with your upshift.

i have flet the rev limter kick in .. but no sounds, other than my balls hitting the floor with Glee :)

Mine is kinda loud. Even with Radio on, it still catches my ear.

i have heard that chime too many times...

mine is hella loud....when i hit it the first time, i nearly jumped out of my seat

I heard it !! I heard it !!!!


right at 8500 !! but the rev limiter kicks in much later :)

cool

I live my life by it.

what rpm is the limiter set at ?

Mine sounds like a truck backing up.
It's always beeping.
Beep..... Beeep...... Beeeeep.





BEEEEEEEEEP

Okay. I'll have to stop letting my wife drive now.

I think my buzzer is bad, or mabye they left the tape over the hole that the sound comes through.

Piezo buzzers/beepers come with a little piece of tape over them so that when they get washed (to remove flux and debrie after they are soldered into the PCB) they don't get killed. I've also found many many bad beepers durring my jobs testing electronics.

it truly must have a break in time.. cause it never did it for me untll after 600 miles. now its there like clock work.

however it is very very quiet. and it is a nice mellow tone chime. not a beep or a buzzer. Kinda funny cause you would think that it would scream loud and clear " Shift Now Ass Whipe" but it is very very quiet.


Good luck yours to will come :)

does the DSC light blink if you hit the rev limiter by any chance??

I thought I hit the limiter one day since the revs were way up there and the car took a dump suddenly, but I could swear I saw the DSC light come on...

it took a dump when the rev limiter turned on.. I have never seen the DSC light turn on for that reason...

is the beep on the auto? I forgot to listen to it when I was in my cousin's car.

don't know but it prob. is. Most cars will have a rev warning beep now adays.

Do you want a shift light with that :lol: ?

That is the funnest thing I saw is an automatic Lancer with a giant shift light.

BTW I doubt there is much use of the shift chime in an auto, I am sorry

Did anyone made it louder, yet?

Zoooooooooom *beep* chirp....zoooooooooooooooooooom *beep* chirp....zoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.. ...

The DSC will blink if you upshift hard and spin the back wheels - I can easily do this on a 1-2 shift ...

Mine is barely there but my hearing is also badly fried.

Just read this thread for the first time. The shift tone does sound like a dying mouse.. or at least some squealing rodent. I'm thinking chipmunk. Does anyone else feel guilty making this rodent squeal?

Beep is in the Auto and MT.

Only when I'm a couple of tick marks from empty and know my next stop isn't the gas station, CZR.

Happy motoring.

It subtley blends with the sound of the engine at that RPM. The engine is so smooth I have hit the limiter often and been like wtf

I tried to make it louder, went a'diggin thru the instrument cluster and found it, but it is too complicated for me.

It has power with the ignition, and it grounds out thru the ECU to beep, my 'big M.F. Sonalert' solution is no good, maybe one of our electrical 'genius' types could work something up?

Film at eleven......

Sounds difficult and bigger buzzer may not fit?!

Thanks for the pic!

Are you sure that is the buzzer? What are the other three black round thingies? Coils or part the gauges? It's hard to make them out in that picture :confused:

Yeah..what they all said!! ^^^^^^^^

- Irish :cool:

Mine's actually pretty loud - it kicks in at 8500 rpm.
