Quiet/Silent Turn Signal Mod

Is it possible to mod your turn signals so that they are either quieter or silent than how they currently are now? I know that many high-end luxury cars' turn signals are virtually quiet and I wish I could do this to my TL. Any help?

IIRC the noise is the the relay activating and deactivating. If so, nothing you can do really.

A way better IDEA, play some dam music, what the hell are you that bored??? appreciate the BOSE and steering wheel controls because after you upgrade your headunit that will be IT!, unless of course a DIY has been MADE!!!!!!

I have two TL's, one ticks louder than the other and after being in the one that is loud I constantly forget to turn the signal off in the quiet one. Does that relay wear out? I'd prefer to hear it.

damn dude asks a question and all he gets is flamed for not using the radio??
thats almost as bad as the dude who asked how to turn off the seat belt chime in the 3rd gen foruml all they did was flame for not wearing his seatbelt.

I know mine was quiet until i put an electronic relay in for my LEDs it bothered me at first but now i dont notice it. I will side with everyone else and just turn the music up a bitor wrap some dynamat around the relay and call it a day.

i have an aftermarket HU and i still have stock speakers you just lose the small sub, and they make things to make stock steering wheel controls work with new deck.
