Indicator 'relay' click (or is it?)

A possible candidate for 'Most Pointless Post of the Year' Award 2018 but here goes anyway...

I noticed the other day that the relay click you hear when indicating in a Mk 7.5 isn't really the noise from a relay but rather a synthesised sound from a speaker. I found this out as I had something on the passenger seat which triggered the 'not wearing a seatbelt' warning chime and evidently only one sound can be emitted at a time and so whilst the indicators continued flashing the clicking noise completely ceased. I suppose the clicking sound is what we are all used to, and no doubt if it wasn't present we'd be constantly thinking the indicators aren't working.
