You have to do it.  No one else cares too much.  B->

I'm just glad they got rid of that bell on the GS and let you fiddle
with the frequency and pitch of it.

BTW, the original post I think said something about the Sun not sounding
the same even though the frequency & duration were the same.  Could be
that they don't use a square wave or a crummy little speaker to generate
their sound.
