And for this thread to go on for nearly two years is surprising given the myriad other issues that are challenging to some. I won’t lose any sleep over the sound of my Defender letting me know it’s locked, IMHO.
I can appreciate that. And while I can be 100% positive I'm not losing any sleep over it either... its a small quirk i'm investigating to see if i can change and perhaps share the info with others who have interest.

I can see that 99.9% of owners dont care, and thats perfectly fine.

Just bumping... curious to see if anyone has actually attempted to get to the passive sounder yet?

I mean we know that the passive sounder is under that fuse box. Its just not easy to go get to. IF that part is apart and you can get to it, now is the time to pull it off and try a different sounder.

Just curious, if you ever were able to give it a shot? Removing that fuse box seems like the only possible way to get to it.

Sorry, not yet. Turns out I wasn’t needing to take apart the engine bay or the fuse box in it. I did a whole lot of interior work, however. I am very curious and will want to look into the engine bay and the potential Horn location when the summer weather is past us here in Texas.
