I was very close to another car yesterday as I didn't have my mirrors set up and didn't notice the flashing light. The one in my porsche is brighter and closer to your field of vision, and the one in my BMW vibrated the steering wheel. Much better system, that.
Driven the new Caddy CTS and it vibrates the seat on the side that the warning is coming from. Sounds gimmicky, but I absolutely loved it.

I RTFM last night. It does not indicate beeping at all. It does indicate beeping for the rear cross path collision warning, and specifically states that the beep comes from the rear, so I don't think they would have missed mentioning that BSM beeps.

I like the BSM on my new 2014 LS460 L and in fact only considered cars offering BSM

My '14 F Sport BSM does not beep, only flashes. I didn't know they beeped because our Tahoe was the same, no beep only flashes. But apparently cars like the Grand Cherokee and Optima beep. I don't really care but kinda wander why it doesn't beep now. Oh well? I'm just glad to have it. It's a great peace of mind.

BSM is a good tool, but IMO nothing beats plain old blind spot mirrors. I rely on them 110%, never turn my head left or right ever
