The method to turn off the lock sound on the Excelle is: 1. Click CONFIG to enter settings, then select the second-to-last option for vehicle settings; 2. In the vehicle settings, choose the smart remote key settings; 3. Select the second option under remote lock light and horn feedback, which is lights only. Taking the Excelle 2021 Modified 1.3T Automatic Light Hybrid Entry Model as an example, it is a compact car launched by SAIC-GM Buick, with a length, width, and height of 4609mm, 1798mm, and 1486mm respectively, and a wheelbase of 2640mm. It is equipped with a 1.3T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum power of 120kw and a maximum torque of 230nm, paired with a 6-speed automatic manual transmission.

The audible beep when locking the car does bother many people, and I noticed this too when driving my Buick Excelle. The operation is quite simple and can usually be done via the remote key. Try holding down both the lock and unlock buttons simultaneously for about 5 to 10 seconds. If the car lights flash once, it means the sound has been turned off. Another method is to sit in the car, start the engine, and navigate to the settings menu on the central control screen. From there, go into vehicle settings or sound options, where you'll find a 'Lock Confirmation Sound' switch—turn it off for silence. Remember to save the settings and test if it works. If it doesn’t succeed, the system might need a soft reset or update, so it’s best to take the car to a 4S shop for diagnosis. I also remind friends that the sound is actually a safety feature. After turning it off, make it a habit to check the side mirrors to confirm the doors are locked to avoid risks from forgetting—reducing similar incidents in the community can prevent disputes.

From a technical perspective, disabling the lock confirmation sound on the Buick Excelle primarily involves adjusting the vehicle's Electronic Control Unit settings. My preferred method is operating through the infotainment system: after starting the vehicle, tap the main menu on the screen, select Vehicle Settings, navigate to the Door Locks section, and adjust the relevant alert volume to minimum or off. For those who prefer not to enter the vehicle, using the remote key fob combination also works—simultaneously press and hold the lock and unlock buttons for about 10 seconds while observing the indicator light response. The owner's manual contains detailed steps worth consulting as it explains potential variations across model years. After disabling, monitor for several days to ensure the setting persists. Remember that the sound serves as a security reminder—I've witnessed cases where owners neglected verification checks leading to break-in incidents, so balancing convenience and safety is crucial. During routine maintenance, inquire with technicians about permanent deactivation options, but avoid circuit modifications which may cause issues.

I think turning off the lock sound requires caution, as it plays a crucial role in security by immediately confirming the car is locked. However, for the Excelle, the method is straightforward: access the central control settings and disable the alert tone. If you're in a hurry, try holding down the lock button on the remote for a longer duration. After making these changes, develop a habit of manually checking the lock status, since the absence of an alert increases the chance of oversight. I only consider turning it off in quiet residential areas.
