Turn Signal Sound
Our 2018 Newmar King Aire on a K3 chassis has the most annoying turn signal sound. I am assuming that this is from a system installed by Spartan, but maybe its a Newmar addition.
Our prior two Newmar coaches on Spartan chassis, including a 2014 King Aire, did not have this annoying sound. I don't know what controls it or where the relevant part would be.
Does anyone else find this to be a problem? Has anyone done anything to change it?

Years ago I had a 2003 Rexhall Roseair on a Spartan chassis. The turn signal was very annoying. I finally removed something on the dash or searched below the dash ( I don't remember) and found a tiny little noise maker that was the audible tone for the turn signals. Several strips of duct tape over the speaker portion of the noise maker and the noise was manageable.
When I was trying to find the noise maker, I took a piece of 1/2" hose about 2' long and used it like a stethoscope

While our turn signal sound is not at all bothersome, both DW & I have noticed that it very rarely, almost never sounds with rhythm, it regularly jumps between rapid sound, slower sound.

Do you have a mixture of LED and filament bulbs, or a bulb not working?

Not sure, but I believe it to be a combo because I know my clearance lights are LEDS. I know it's not your "normal" fast flash you get in a car when a bulb is out, but it is an inconsistent fast/slow, no rhythm sound.

I've seen/heard a similar sound years ago I changed the flasher element and it stopped.

Well, I was wondering if the mixture of bulb types was causing the unusual normal to fast sound.
