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.

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.

i don't mind getting a little heat from others out here lol. i mean not entirely constrcutive but it sounds like it isn't possible to do this mod.

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.
