Default Faint beep above $1.30

Hey WS Fiesta Zetec owners. The other day I noticed when cruising above 130 km/h that the Fiesta puts out a faint beep. I initially thought it was a fault, but every time I broke through the 130 "barrier" it beeped.

Anyone else get this and know why Ford has done this?

Mine doesn't do it but it isn't a Zetec.

**130 not $1.30

Unless it's disabled on one of the software updates they all do it at 130, I guess some people are just more deaf than others. Ours has done it from new and still does
