Mine makes no noise...It just needs a green arrow to flash on the dash display.

So if you have a light flashing with the correct symbol you do not need a buzzer>>>

Agree... you just need some way of telling that the indicators are flashing. With my first setup (indicators on top of the cycle wings) I technically didn't need any dash lights because you could see the indicators from the driver's seat!

With my last 7, even though I had the correct green lights, I ended up fitting a buzzer after a while because without something audible, I kept leaving the indicators on by mistake.

WRONG!

I had an MOT fail over this with the land rover.... and looking in the SVA manual it says:

quote:
Note: The "tell-tale" may be audible or visual. It is not required if one or more indicators on each side of the vehicle can be seen by the driver from the driver's seat


and for hazards:

quote:
Note: The "tell-tale" device must be in the form of a flashing light, which may be the same lamp as the direction indicator "tell-tale"


looks pretty clear as to what is required.
