I've noticed it occasionally...doesn't bother me and I won't be reporting it to the dealer....just a quirk.

Wish I could drive my car more than once a week right now missing it sooo much..it's such a great car.

I've noticed the sound frequency changes occasionally however indicator speed remains the same.
Its a generated noise, not like older cars with an audible flasher unit

Since reading this post noticed my car does the same but only occasionally, does not effect the lights so not to bothered otherwise car runs perfectly received a recall letter last week for city safe but not urgent repair will wait until garage opens again.

It doesn't bother me but perhaps it's to avoid the hypnotic ( sleep inducing) of a precise regular " tick - tock", so doubtless a good thing.

It's a good thing - it prevents the hypnotic effect of a precise regular " tick-tock"
I personally don't consider it to be a fault, but this is fairly small print criticism ?

It's a good thing rather than a fault
