Default Dumbest C8 complaint ever

I love my 2024 Torch Red Stingray, I love driving it, the seats, the power, sound and even washing every beautiful curve and crease. The car is fantastic.

BUT.... the turn signal sound just bugs me. It sounds like someone tapping on a hollow coconut. Just sounds cheap and weak.

I don't know what I expected, maybe the Jetsons car sound? What sounds does a jet fighter make when the pilot uses their directional?

I know its stupid so back I go to enjoy my wonderful new car. Maybe I just won't use the turn signals. Millions of BMW owners can't all be wrong........

The sound is a little annoying, but I would guess that is the point, letting the driver know it is on.

Best way to handle the problem is to turn up the radio.

I agree the turn signal sound is a little annoying compared to other cars. But more annoying to me is the location of the button to engage the parking brake and the silly-***-looking home and volume buttons.

GM designed the interior to give it a luxurious appeal and then killed it with Fisher Price-style buttons stuck to the infotainment screen.

And some complain about the turn signal stalk position too far from the steering wheel (due to the need for shift paddles I imagine).
Neither bothers me.

High end cars should come with dial option to turn up or down turn signal sound volume, and micro down/up adjustment of Windows. Just some new options to make more money and give choices.
p.s. separate HVAC fan speed for his/hers.

I agree. The turn signal sound is the only thing that bugs me about the C8.

Delete this thread. The last thing I want GM to think is that there is anything more annoying on a 2024 than the goddamn Android Automotive stipulation.

I couldn't tell you what the turn signal sounds like. Top is always down, music blasting and the engine is revving......

The WEAK feeling engagement of the turn signal stalk bothers me! Same on my Silverado .. weak and rubbery feeling when pulling it down or pushing it up. Needs a more FIRM/SOLID and positive engagement when manipulated!

Just stick your arm straight out for left or out and up for right like the old days before turn signals.
