Overspeed Chime/bell/ding dong or w/e!

Alright, Ive had it. I know ive seen this post before and have tried searching for more than an hour but now I give up.

Driving more than 120 KMPH in the MR just kills! The chime is just too annoying. Has anybody figured a way to get rid of this yet?

Appreciate all the replies and thanks in advance!

Wtf? Seriously? I've never known about that. I've had mine up to about 135mph, with no noises.

MPH - Miles Per hour!

KMPH - Kilometers Per hour!

Is it me or does nothing happen in the video after 120 KMPH? All I hear is the music but no chime after that speed.

you could take the low-tech route and find the piezoelectric speaker for the chime and either cut it out or desolder it from the circuit or maybe relocate it with wires off the board so you could run it with a switch to turn it off.
