Damn, you took the words right out of my mouth.

I had to replace my (1991-vintage) turn signal relay recently. The new
replacement is a LOT quieter than the old one, and I too am now tending to
forget the signal is on.

The relay consists of a set of points controlled by a coil. Power the coil
and the points snap together. It's the impact of the points on each other
that makes the click noise. The dealership has only one "correct" relay and
no "loudness" options, so I guess if one were to seek out noisier
substitutes, somebody would have to have access to some kind of aftermarket
list of compatible relays that are louder.

Anybody?
