You could done "No!!"

Why would you want to turn it off? Are you constantly rev'ing past the redline? As rev happy as the renesis is, I'm not exactly sure it's healthy for it to be rev'ed to the point where the beep becomes something that goes off very often..

yes, there are several ways to make the beep go away:
-play your music louder
-full exhaust, headers back
-rev to 8k
-get annoyingly loud girlfriend

I like the beep. when you go autocrossing or to the drag strip you don't have to look down at the RPM's... just listen for the beep!

step 1: Put 10 penny nail in left ear
step 2:push until you feel resistance
step 3:apply hammer to nail until you no longer feel resistance
step 4:repeat on right ear

Does anyone else think this forum is getting less intelligent every day??

That beep should be music to your ears. You have surrendered your man card. Hand those keys over!

The beep is almost a trademark of the Rotary. I loved it in my 7 and I love it even more in my 8. Jeremy Clarkson loved it so you should too !

I agree. Most of the time, I can't hear it. I've been thinking about rigging up a redline light.

In the '09's, mazda raised the sound level of the beep, so it's louder than the '04-'08 model rx8's.

I've put it as high as 55, maybe it goes higher, dunno how quality is affected though (I use my MP3 player btw.. not the radio, and it's the Bose system). Everything was vibrating.. was rather fun.. but then I couldn't hear very well for a good 30mins after getting out of the car

The 04 to 08 head units only go to 33, then "MAX" my stereo spends a lot of time there.
