Is it just a thing with Northern Ohio...the wanting to get out feeling? I grew up in KY and I thought Cincinnati up to Dayton was pretty nice.

I live in between Cinci and Dayton and don't really have the have to get out of here feeling. Florida is quite nice though.

I read somewhere, that the turn signals in Mustangs and Foci are now all computer controlled, and don't use the traditional flasher anymore. The turn signal sound you hear in the mustang and focus, are actually re-created through a speaker.

The above is 100% correct, on both the 05 Mustang and Focus (since 02 I think) the blinker is 100% solid state and has no moveing parts like a triditional flasher or soilnoid. Its a small speaker on a PCB somewhere in the dash so in theory one could take apart the dash and disable the offending noise maker.

I for one found it annoying as I signaled to leave the dealership, then I stepped on the gas and have never noticed the blinker noise again

If your disconnect the speaker you will also loose the audible alarms and warnings from the message center.

I think turning up the radio is looking like your best solution. Just be happy they did not put the turn signal sound through the radio speaker system as a cost reduction!
