Sound generator

Is there a way to disable the sound generator system on the 2024 PHEV, without tearing the fenders apart?

I would like to know where the sound is coming from, even if I have to get up behind the fender.

Depends on how thin and long your arms are.
I wish it had a volume adjustment.

It comes from a couple of speakers behind the headlights.

Just a question, why would you want to disable it?

 

[Ben Baker]

It's so loud.

If I’m moving the vehicle on my property while cleaning or servicing I don’t need to listen to that sound. Particularly loud in my garage. A simple toggle off with the default turn back on when I restart would be all I need.

Now this really is a first world problem!

Hey there,

I'm awaiting delivery of my 2024 ZM GSR. I'm in Australia.



When I took the demo for a drive I did noticed a whining noise coming from the front left side of the car. Similar to what you'd get coming from the speakers of a poorly grounded analogue car stereo back in the day.



Is this the AVAS system you're talking about? Any Aussies here tackled this problem?

Sounds like you found it, best to keep windows and sunroof closed under 40 kph, blocks most of it… lol

Only blocks a couple of percentage points of it. Kind of the audio equivalent of the olfactory pleasure of following an American diesel truck "rolling coal" (or any diesel vehicle with no emissions controls).
