Chime or Beep?

Hey, in the awesome Top Gear review of the 8, you can clearly hear a warning chime when your close to the redline. Mine puts out a steady beep instead of the "ding ding" of the chime. It kind of sucks really. It sounds like something is wrong especially to your passenger. THe chime was a brilliant celebration of a high reving engine - almost like a reward - the beep, a penalty. Anbody know the story behind this?

First time I heard it I said "what the hell is that?"

She's talking to you... okay, you're amazing, you got me up here but I cant take much more so lets slow things down a little bit before I blow.

Much like a rowdy first date. Damn that sexy little car!
