Question Turn Signal Beeper?

The turn signals on my '87 F150 are so quiet, I cant hear them when they are on.
This ticks me off, as Ive found myself crusing down the road with my blinker still on.
What can I do to make the signal louder inside the cab?

Hit up your local parts shop. Ask them for a super loud model, they make them, and they are louder.

Not as cheap as a normal one, expect about 15 bucks.

For me, the only thing that will help that is a hearing aide....

Blinker....DINK DINK DINK DINK
Wife..."You can't hear that"?
Me..... "What"?
wife...."you need hearing aides, turn off the damn blinker"!

I also hate that.. when I notice it I'm aggravated. Only because whenever I see someone driving for a good amount of time with the blinker on I'm having a laugh at their expense. :P
