    Hi!

    I recently purchased a 2013 prius two. My building's parking garage is very long (full city block) and narrow, and I have to back out of it each time I leave.
    While I understand the benefits of the beeping, it is SO LOUD! Is there any way to lower the volume?
    I know I can take it to the dealer to get it switched to one beep, but all I really want to do is make it quieter, not go away.
    Alternatively, does anyone know where the speaker the sound comes out of is? Maybe I can muffle it with tape or something.

    Thanks for your input, this has been really annoying!

    I found a couple discussions


    but it appears the speaker/beeper has not been found yet. Tried google too. Guess I was mistaken.
