Is there a way to turn off the proximity sensor warning sounds?

Am I missing how to turn the proximity warning sounds off or at least down?

Due to having an older style garage, I have to nose in at an angle in between the wall and heater with about two inches to spare in front and a few inches on each side. It only took a couple of times of doing it to get comfortable since I have the 360 cameras, but every time I come home, about half way into the garage the beeps start going off. And going off. And getting beepier. And finally a super loud flat-lining noise as try to concentrate on not ramming into my dining room while I creep up the last few inches. And it is REALLY loud - it does actually hurt my ears and the kids complain. I find that my screen changing to a picture of the truck with red all around the front of it to be sufficient warning.

Help please! Yes, yet another loud truck complaint. Sorry, not sorry. I see how this could be really helpful, but for me it is actually an unsafe distraction due to the volume level.

TL;DR - ironically I grazed the wall slightly once with the tire and once with the mirror backing out the first couple of days. Since I was in reverse, the only warning was a slight scraping sound...

On the camera screen there is a button to turn off the parking sensors.

Thanks the response.

I should have been more specific - I would like to keep the sensors on, just turn the sound off.

That surprises me. Whenever I back out of my garage, the beeping is going wild due to the close proximity of the door jamb on the driver’s side. It’s making all kinds of noise with the mirror about 3” from the jamb.

We have a 3 car garage, but it is shorter on the left side side than the right, and the heater is at the back in the middle, so I wedge into the passenger side corner at a slight angle so the nose is in a little nook between the heater and the wall. I back out at an angle away from the garage door jamb, and have a Pro so only the bumpers have sensors, so no noise there. If the angle is too sharp, that's when I risk hitting the wall. First couple of days was a little dicey...

While a "car wash" mode would be nice, it is not an answer to your question.

I wish I had a more helpful answer. I was hoping there was a way to adjust the distance for the warning as in my garage I have to move around a bit in the red to get in. All I can say is after 9 months I got used to it…

Gotcha….the difference is definitely due the trim levels. I missed that.

Would also love this as I have the same issue in my garage. Also doesn’t help when the kids are sleeping.

Thanks for all of the replies. I'm guessing if there was a way to turn the sound off but keep the sensors and camera on, someone would have posted it by now. Bummer.
