    Heyo,

    just a quick question : while driving the BMW M8 GTE i always hear a beep-beep driving through a corner. Is this a shift signal played by the car?

    I personally never heard a beeping sound in the M8.... hmm. For me it sounds just like in this video.

    Do you drive with traction control? Because you can hear it when the tc is working. Maybe it's that? Do you drive in cockpit view?

    @Zopzodeman In the video @Flaux posted above I can hear a high pitch noise (not sure I'd call it beeping, but it's there) on the left at 0:25 and 1:35. Tiny bit again at 1:54 before the gear change. Again at 2:17 just before the gear change.

    Is that the one you're referring to?

    I can join you guys in the deaf club :oops:. I can hear what sounds like a very faint high pitch rattle in the transmission when near the top of the revs, but I wouldn't call it a beeping. :confused: :)
    That's the rattling sound I can hear. :) (whew, not alone)

    This is turning to be like the Laurel vs Yanny conundrum.

    I don't hear any beeps btw & I hear laurel :)

    Maybe he means the tires squealing?

    @Bernd The tyre squealing does have a thick tone to it, and gets a bit buried behind the engine note (at least on my speakers), so that seems possible. Would be interested to find out what the OP is referring to :cool:

    Well I spent 5 minutes boosting and or cutting high, mids and lows, panning hard left and right at those three time marks.
    5 minutes I'll never get back trying to hear the mythical beeping beep. :mad:
    I wonder if being a 50 year old construction worker who played guitar in a rock/punk band has any influence in missing out on all the beeps in life. ;)
