Ditto. I think I had to get used to it. And then only really hear it if windows are up and the radio is on a low setting.

You'll hear the engine losing revs, and you'll feel it losing revs. 9500 is the fuel cutoff. Accidentally hit that on the highway once. I wasn't paying attention to the beep, more so the sound of the engine because it makes me .
