Much more than yours. Instead of just running my mouth with smarta $$ comments, I've been researching, and the mkraffert idea appears to be a viable solution.
All of the previous threads on the subject are about turning down the volume on earlier trucks.
Yes watching the dash is a solution, but only if you can see the indicator or have time to look. This has happened to me on more than one occasion when on the freeway.
Routing the sound to the speaker system of sync would be a great solution.
Now if only someone with the capability would give it a try and let us know the outcome.

Maybe the OP would have liked it better had he only gotten one reply?
BTW, still no help?

don't have time to look at the dash? really?
you should constantly be switching your attention from in front of you, to your side mirrors, rear-view mirrors, dash, etc.
it's called situational awareness. don't just focus one 1 thing or you will eventually not see the car that is about to hit you.

You might want to try having someone with FORScan change the setting in the IPC for internal chimes. By default the sound gets sent to the stereo. When I got my aftermarket stereo it doesn't support that and now the sound comes from an internal speaker in the IPC. It's louder now than it was before the new stereo. Sounds 'clicky-er' too, more like 'old school' flashers did.

Sure, no traffic, I'll look at the dash to ensure things are fine, but heavy traffic, the dash provides little help, with the exception of the OP's issue. Just my $0.02... We all have opinions.
