Drifting/hydroplaing alarm/beep?
Does our car have one? I've lost traction before and the lost traction light lights up ok coo... Well today it was raining and I went to make a right turn and tail whipped just a bit, not a violent turn i'm not a crazy driver but enough to twist BUT the traction control light DIDNT turn on this time, but i heard 4 beeps about a quarter second apart (all four in one second). So what was that sound? oh and when I lost traction the car did its thing and adjusted the way it should, just kinda weird that it light didnt show up..
Any guesses?

Thats how we do it Nucka!!! naw, I have my 20's on right now. I dont like to roll on the 2's in the rain.
Yea that was what I was doing, merging into the freeway trying to beat the people turning left into freeway on ramp.
I'm starting to think maybe it beeps on violent drifts only Hmmm...
BTW guys... looks like it that drift took out my tire It wasnt that bad of a slide though! Still dont know what happened to the tire yet. I'm gonna take the rim to the shop cause its flat now dont know why, I didnt see any anomalies in the tire so I can only assume that drift did something to it...

If it's just wheelspin, then you won't get a beep..the light will just flash at you. If there is some kind of lateral G's involved as in side to side/drifting motion then the beeping will come on. Yes, I know all about this. I just disabled the traction control and pulled out the module lol

I have got the beeps before when there is a significant tire pressure difference right to left in the rear (tire going flat). No slip but the car can feel it.
