Beeping sound on cruise

[Kesh]

I've got the same sound on a mk7 TSI, never bothered to get it checked... can't be anything too serious can it?

Definitely not serious, just an irritation to be honest.

I dropped it off this morning at the place where I bought it, it's an official VW dealer. Lets hope they are not ripping the car apart to find it because they had absolutely no clue what it could be. That surely didn't leave me a good impression and I am a bit disappointed in my VW experience up until now. And it's only been 2 weeks.

They said to give them 2 days so hopefully by the end of tomorrow I'll know more.

Just got a call from my garage. Apparently there is nothing they can do about it. They talked to the factory and
according to them its all the sensors and stuff that kick in when activating ACC or the speed limiter that scan the environment.
As long as the volume of the beeping is that low I'll have to live with it, should it get louder I can always come back
under warranty.

He also said that he had to turn off ventilation and radio and listen very carefully to hear it, maybe my hearing is better then
his because if I concentrate I can hear it when listening to music.

And because my car is a petrol engine that is already very quiet and the car is that well protected against outside noise
that it is so silent in the car that you start noticing these things. So, I guess a car can be too quiet

I cut out the loudest (beeping) minute from my trip to work where I recorded the incar sound
with my phone. I held my phone at the armrest.

Just wondering if other ppl who have this problem hear the same, thanks

Not sure about any beeping sound. I listened to this with noise cancelling headphones and volume cranked all the way up.

Couldn't hear any beeping noise, could hear a very low level high pitched whine every now and then. Appear to be loudest around the 46 second mark.

Can't say I've ever noticed the noise in the TDI with DAP, or the TSI with DAP I test drove.

I can hear the high pitched tone throughout the whole minute just by using my laptop speakers.
It changes frequency sometimes and goes into short beeps then back to the continuous beep.

In the car I can hear it even when the radio is playing. Maybe I'm more sensitive to high pitched sound.
But thanks for listening and your opinion.

No problem have you tried getting another golf driver in your car as a passenger to see if they notice it?

Hi,

After going through another 35 minute hearing test while driving to work decided to put together a video
of the loudest parts of the high pitch sound/whine of the commute.

To the people in this thread complaining about the beeping while driving, is this the same as you are experiencing?
I can no longer believe this is normal. I tried opening a complaint 2 times now with D'Ieteren, who is the importer of VW
and Audi but I don't get any response.

At the moment my gf is driving the car to work, she's got a shorter commute because listening to this 2 times a day for
35 minutes is driving me insane. After 2000km this car is worthless to me because of this.

If that were my car is be furious. Are you able to try a different dealer?

I'm not sure how the policy is with VW here in Belgium. There is a dealer close to work so might pop in
there just to try and talk to a mechanic and ask him if they have ever had anyone with this issue.

But I've got the impression that whatever the problem you have on a car, the first reply in the garage is : "We have
never seen this before."
