Faint warning sounds

I’m hearing faint warning sounds when I make a turn over painted lines. Anyone else hear them? I monkeyed with some settings a couple days ago, anyone able to read my mind and tell me what I switched on?

I think it's the lane departure warning and/or blind spot? I almost always though the faint sound was a motor in the steering wheel which it vibrates with.

Found it!! It was notification of speed limit change. Every section of road between crosswalks has its own speed limit in the gps map, even if it’s the same. Everytime I crossed a crosswalk, or turn at a crosswalk it would notify me of a speedlimit ‘change’.
The sound was so faint, it was almost like ghost notifications from the phone!!

So the navigation used to warn me about crosswalks coming up. That warning annoyed the heck out of me because it would cover part of my instrument cluster and a good portion of my HUD. I'm not sure what happened, but now I don't get those crosswalk warnings. I swear I didn't change any settings.

Has anyone else noticed this?

Ha, I too found this a year ago and disabled it. It drove me mad. Ever time I turned a corner, I got the alarm. It might be useful for continuous roads. But it becomes useless when you get the alarm at a road change.
