Red Line buzzer?

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

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

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

I barely hear mine at times...

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.

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 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 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?

No it comes from behind the dash and sounds like a dying mouse.
