Objects should shut the fuck up

Summary

I have a small car, and it has a dual-tank: gas and LPG, which is a great way to reduce my car-related budget, as LPG is way cheaper. Unfortunately, when the tank is starting to get depleted, the car will emit strident and loud beeps to notify me about it. And every single time time, it startles me like Hell, which isn't something I appreciate very much, especially when I'm steering a 1 ton metal box to overtake a trailer at 130km/h on the highway. To make things even double-plus-good, a full-screen "LPG tank almost depleted!" message will cover the whole dashboard. The very same dashboard that constantly have at its bottom the current level of said LPG tank. The only time I want my car to maybe make some noise is when some critical shit is happening, like the oil level decreasing at an alarming rate. Having it yell at me that I'm only able to drive around 100 more kilometers on LPG, while I have a full gasoline tank affording me a total autonomy of like 1000 kilometres is anything but. I hate this, I hate that it's not configurable, I hate that it's waking everyone asleep in the car (especially toddlers), and I fucking hate that my car is actively lowering the safety of its passengers by scaring its driver. And of course, the notification will repeat a couple of times, at seemingly random intervals, likely because the complete bellend who designed this terrible scheme is taking the ever-lowering worldwide car-crash statistics as a personal affront, and is on a mission from God to fix this. This major papercut made me think about how making noise for anything but the direst emergency should be an off-by-default privilege that only the user can explicitly grant, instead if being the default for all electricity-powered objects. I'm a CyberSecurity Professional™, earning a living breaking into computer and computer-adjacent systems, so I own the bare minimum in terms of Smart Devices™, and yet, yet I realised that I still have a non-zero amount of infernal noise-making...
