Turn signal "click"

It comes through the stereo speakers. If you are thinking of wanting it louder because maybe you sometimes don't realize you've left your blinker on after changing lanes, can I offer a bit of advice you may or may not be aware of?
If you just halfway pull the turn signal stalk, the blinker will flash 3 times only. I love this feature and use it all day. I'll even bump the stalk a second time if I desire an additional 3 blinks for say making a left/right turn.
I like it so much that I find myself trying to do it in my wife's car before realizing that her '09 Scion has clearly inferior technology and doesn't come equipped with this glorious feature.
But to answer your question, IIRC, there is settings you can access in the stereo menu that may have to do with body lighting/sound settings.

Yes indeed, it can be adjusted by changing the chime volume in the vehicle settings menu.
Unfortunately this will also make your chimes unbearably loud. They're already ridiculous at 'normal' volume.

Yes ColonelPanic. That is what I found. Only 2 settings and "low" is the default.
Is that what you meant, Preloader?
The first comment my brother made about my Sonic was the click was too loud. I told him I thought it came through the "radio" speakers and was adjustable. Oh well.

Still love it
When I pulled my radio in my 2012 and put in an aftermarket the door ding and turn signal clicks stopped.. Bc I told them not to wire it in the harness.. So it goes thru the radio I guess

This is something interesting. If the volume goes up they way people say it does with aftermarket speakers, I may try to cut the wires you had left open.

I find it incredibly difficult to get this to work every time I end up going to far lol. When I can get it to do it without it clicking into left or right. I enjoy it.

When using an aftermarket head unit
Like Danny said it's in a module there is a set screw that allows you to change the volume since you wouldn't have the factory head unit anymore. They can turn that all the way off. I had it set that way in my cobalt.

You can adjust the volume in the setting not sure if you can turn it all the way off tho.

Sorry, I should have been clearer- I believe people have said that the chime gets much louder when installing aftermarket speakers and not a HU, even on the low setting.
I have have misread them and they had HU's as well. I'm just trying to avoid that extra loud chime.

Bringing this back up as I recently got my sonic back. Factory default turn signal volume is too loud. I find my self skipping the use of turn signals at times, especially when on the phone(through the radio). Everything is stock with base radio. Is there a turn signal wire going to the radio so it can be cut or is it a can bus connection?
I have the "no click" problem in my 2012 LTZ. The turn signal is completely silent. Through some research I have found that the audio is generated by the Body Control Module (BCM), goes through the radio, then to the driver side door speaker. I swapped the left and right door speakers and problem remained. I had the Dealership check the BCM programming and they said the output to the radio was working. Problem appears to be the radio.
