Default Low Fuel/ Door Ajar/ Seat Belt Beep Change, Possible or Impossible?

I know this would be a ridiculous mod but was just wondering if its possible and if its ever been done. The "beep" that sounds when low on gas or seat belt not on, would it be possible to silence this thing or even better change it? I think a kind of "Wah wah waaaa" or a sound like when you die playing Super Mario brothers would be an excellent alternative. Lets hear some input

Read your owners manual, it describes how to turn off the seatbelt warning.

Just as "sdca7718" points out, that's an easy one. Read the proceedure in your owners manual. Don't have one?

yes, you can change the chime to any buzzer or beeper that runs off the 14 volt system. radio shack or frys can offer a large choice of buzzers or beepers

yeah the seatbelt is easy. Really wierd how to do it though! I would like to meet whoever thought of that. Anyways yeah a different sound when your low on fuel would be cool. I think I want one that sounds like those sirens for when your gonna get Nuked. An air attack siren or whatever it is called lol. I cant remember and Im in the military I should know this!!
