It seams like it comes from the rear speakers on the 301a/401a packs. The 300a/400a are not as loud. I hate it on mine, it’s annoyingly loud.

The tone is insanely loud.

I am used to loud noises in my muscle cars so it's no big deal. But the wife gets chronic migraines and this is a deal breaker for her.

We wind up taking our Camry or the Lexus just to avoid the beeping. For some people, this really is a major issue and whoever said to "call the waaaambulance" is obviously inconsiderate of others.

Hopefully Ford will correct this on future models or at least offer a way to turn down the volume of it.

Considering the risk of self-inflicted damage to the car, better too loud than too low if you ask me.

You can use forscan to send it to the default speaker (behind the instrument user). It is not as loud.

Sometimes the car sends it there randomly for unknown reasons.
Yep.

This happens to me quite often.

Has this been confirmed to work for 2018s already?

My post should have said "instrument cluster", not "instrument user". That's what I get for posting with my phone!
