It was nice that the intermediate version beeped when getting pinged; the new flex version (with number of riders switch) is silent again. Maybe it's time to hack a tone into it.

The new Flex transponder (with 1,2,3 switch) does beep for me when passing a bridge toll port (84, 92 etc), not on the highway 101 lane.

How "new" is it? The new ones are not supposed to beep.

Gumstick Flex from August 2019, but starts with 090 instead of 101 (one month early). Why did they remove the beep?

I have a new southern California FasTrak switchable, and it does not beep (it's not supposed to, either, per the toll agency: no battery, no piezo).

Ah, that's interesting. I've never heard a beep from any of my transponders, including crossing bridges. Is yours the "gumstick" one? (Thin rectangular one). A beep would be a step in the right direction (but doesn't solve my other grievances).
