Too Afraid to Ask

A blinker is your turn signal. Some cars make a noticeable sound when you use it, and for some people that sound can be annoying enough to matter.

Technical Definition

A “blinker” is the turn-signal system, including the audible click or sound some vehicles produce when signaling. If someone “doesn’t like the sound of the blinker,” it’s a reminder that small usability details can affect day-to-day satisfaction.
