@kezo Having just spent 48 hours driving a new BMW X5, I can confirm that all the incessant bings and bongs that drive both of us demented with our Tucson’s are not down to EU directives, but Hyundai’s interpretation and implementation of them.
The only warning noise that I had was the speed limit warning, and it’s three very quiet and soft gentle tones that frankly, with the radio on even at low volume, were barely audible, so much so that I didn’t bother to mute them as it was so unobtrusive.
Today I’m back in the Tucson and the contrast is stark. Even with the annoying and loud (even on lowest setting) speed limit warning muted, the ruddy thing was still binging at me for reasons that I simply could not fathom. It’s beyond irritating and clearly down to what Hyundai deems to be necessary, but it’s completely put me off getting another, as I have told our supplying dealer.
