Does anyone else despise the warning chimes?

The chimes don’t bother me.
I just ignore them or turn down my hearing aids.
If you put your seat belt on first there is no Chime.

As long as you're not in gear, yeah.

If you're in a parking garage and throw it into reverse, you get the cross-traffic alerts for cars driving past. I just don't put my car into reverse until the way is clear.

Personally, whomever came up with the chime (if you could call it that) was clever. The tum-tum-tum, sped up, sound just like the sounds of a horse galloping.

This link should work... Select the third sound down.

I love them. Sometimes they don't play and I get upset. Kidding... but I do notice!

I even leave the "check the rear seat" chime enabled because I like to hear it when I turn off the car.

i really like the chimes. they add personality to the vehicle and it shows that Ford really does care about the Mustang. the only two other Ford vehicles to have a unique chime set is the Mach-E and the Lightning. i suspect the GTD will share the regular Mustang's chimes. every other Ford out there shares the standard set of chimes which have been around since there have been speakers in the steering column

I love the "Tum-Tum-Tum".... one.

I really dislike the "Parking Brake Not Applied" when I turn off the car (Even though I always leave it in 1st gear).

pretty sure its for liability reasons. it only takes one instance of someone parking it in gear and it pops out of gear suddenly or (somehow) turns over the engine when parked to cause trouble, so they make it yell about the parking brake

If it's for liability mitgation, the solution should have been to auto-apply it on vehicle shutdown.

If it were a vehicle configuration option, I'd enable it.
