Can the turn signal sound of the Lynk & Co 01 be adjusted?

The turn signal sound of the Lynk & Co 01 cannot be adjusted in volume. The turn signal sound is designed to provide better safety alerts to the driver, allowing them to focus on driving without needing to check the instrument panel, thereby enhancing driving safety. Turn signals are crucial indicators that activate when a vehicle is turning, alerting surrounding vehicles and pedestrians. The turn signal tubes use xenon lamps, controlled by a microcontroller circuit, with left and right alternating flashes for continuous operation. The turn signals employ flashers to achieve blinking lights, which can be mainly categorized into resistance wire type, capacitor type, and electronic type. The Lynk & Co 01 is equipped with a Drive-E series 2.0TD turbocharged engine, with body dimensions of 4512mm in length, 1857mm in width, 1673mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2734mm.
When I first picked up my Lynk & Co 01, I also found the clicking sound of the turn signal a bit loud and specifically checked the manual. After driving it for over two years, I can definitively tell you that the factory settings don't allow volume adjustment. This sound is a mechanical noise controlled by the turn signal relay, unlike electronic alerts which can be adjusted. I saw on forums that some owners tried modifying it themselves by replacing the relay with a silent one after disassembling the steering column base, but it triggered the safety system error and they had to revert it. Honestly, you'll get used to this sound over time—it actually helps prevent the safety hazard of forgetting to turn off the signal, especially during night driving.
Based on repair shop experience, the turn signal sound on all Lynk & Co 01 models is fixed and non-adjustable. Last week, a female owner came to our shop complaining that the loud turn signal noise frightened her child. Our inspection revealed this is a mechanical sound directly output by the body control module, with no designed adjustment options. While theoretically possible to replace the entire control module, modifying the wiring would trigger the electronic anti-theft alarm - more trouble than it's worth. We recommend a simple trick: returning the lever to neutral position half a second earlier when completing the turn can reduce the annoying residual sound.
