GOOD MORNING Lee.  You may not have seen this Tuesday.  I just noticed I replied to myself when I first posted this.  So please see the following.  I hope this helps. Rick OK Lee.  It was a little tough to get Garmin to talk me on your behalf but we worked it out.  They have had a tough go of it as of late.   So here is the story.  They have heard of this as an issue on Garmin Forums, but no one has actually opened a ticket on this so that Garmin can investigate this.  Essentially they said it is a small device with a high frequency audio alert coming from a very small speaker and it may be a problem for some people.  So you have several choices here.  1.  You can call Garmin.  Select Fitness Trackers, then biking computers  and then wait for product support to get on the phone.  You can then open a problem ticket if you so desire.  They will probably ask you to stand next to a road with your bike in your hands, turn on the radar system and record with your phone to capture the visual and audio response to a car coming.  This will start a process to address the issue. 2.  Email Garmin to start a problem ticket based upon your issue to product.support@garmin.com 3.  Since you have not had the Edge 130 for a relatively short period of time, you can bring it back to REI and return it and try another because it may be defective.  You can trade up to and edge 130+ or another bike computer. 4.  Simply get your money back from REI if it just is not going to work for you. This is our current electronics warranty statement:   As our stores are reopening, we’re doing everything we can to make things easier for you. We’ve updated our return policy so any electronics purchased after 12/15/19 and any other merchandise purchased after 3/15/19 may be returned. Please view our Store Locator to check if a store is open for in-store shopping and returns. Everything else is subject to our standard return policy.  For your convenience, REI purchases of new products can be  returned by mail  or at any of our retail stores, with proof of purchase, regardless of whether you made your purchase online, in a store, or by phone.   This certainly does not help you short term but if you at least start a ticket, this issue will get off of the forums and into an actual Garmin investigation.    I hope this helps!   Have a great day!

Good morning.  I am actually finally into Garmin!  Kind of.  I left my phone number on their automated system about 1 hour ago.  They said to expect a call back in 30 to 45 minutes.  As soon as I speak with them, I will get back to you.  They understandably are catching up, so I will be patient. ...

Very interesting.  Please verify that you may have heard some minor tone outside of the heavy traffic area.  Obviously a loud maybe screaming tone would be more appropriate.  Do not know if the Edge has volume control and I am sure you have already checked but let me know.   Meanwhile last I checked, Garmin is hard down!    Hopefully they will be back up shortly.  Not sure where the data center is.   ...

@Deputyx3 Good Saturday morning.  Sorry it has taken me a while to get back to you.  Garmin still owes me a call.  Unfortunately, maybe you have noticed, they have been down hard for days now.  I cannot even get updated tracking stats on my Garmin watch! So let's try something different.  A couple things.  First do you have the Garmin Edge 130 or the Garmin Edge 130 + ? Also I have found a site that has such amazing detail on Garmin products.  This is the Varia in depth review.  One of the things I did not realize, since I do not own a radar, is that there is a setup on the Edge and a setup on the Varia separately.  The setup on the Varia (done through your edge) shows twice because of the light and the radar both being on the "Light" network.   So please take a look at this.  It is extremely detailed and well written.  If you have already seen this and have executed it once, it may be worth a reset, pairing and setting up both the Edge and Varia then trying again.  If the Tone does not work yet, it may be time to return the Edge.  By the way the reset is not supposed to delete your data. They also have the same type of reviews on the Edge 130 and the newer Edge 130+. Meanwhile, when Garmin support comes back, hopefully I will get more information. Thanks and have a great weekend!       ... View more

@Deputyx3 I will tell you what. Before you make a decision on "giving up", let me research the issue a little more deeply.  Technology is fickle and having lived in that business, I know that well. Let me do a little research on this specific issue. It may be a few days but I will get back to you one way or the other. I really appreciate you getting back to me. I always want my fellow outdoor lovers to be safe out there!! Best regards,  Rick ... View more

@Deputyx3 Good afternoon. The Garmin Edge bike computer is capable of producing tones for the rear radar. In the manual for the Edge, there is a setup procedure. I do understand that some Garmin devices do not come with the full manual. If you do have a full manual, look under "device customization" where you will find a section on turning tones on and off. If not here is the sequence: Turning the Device Tones On and Off: Hold Menu symbol. Select System > Sounds. Then "on" Please let me know if this helps and if not please reply and I will dig into this more deeply. Have a great day! Best regards, Rick ... View more
