Start Up and Warning Chimes

This is a very simple set of lua scripts that add startup and warning chimes to BeamNG's vehicles. So far I only did official BeamNG vehicles and did not add this to any modded vehicles. If you are a mod developer and give me permission to add chimes to your mod then I can do that in a future update, feel free to let me know in DMs if you would like me to do so.

For Mod Creators:

Feel free to use these scripts on your own mods, I would love to see more mods with these features so linked below will be a template of these scripts so you can just paste them into your mod and configure them to your specific use case.

Here is my YouTube Video demonstrating and showing how to use it for your own mods:

ABOUT THIS LISTING

This page describes Start Up and Warning Chimes by StrictBark. The description and screenshots are the author's own, imported from their listing on the BeamNG.drive repository on 24 October 2026: https://www.beamng.com/resources/start-up-and-warning-chimes.35948/

Mythiq.net hosts no files for it. The download button goes straight to the release file on beamng.com, so you are downloading from the author's own host, not from a copy of ours.

The download count, rating and comments on this page start at zero and count Mythiq.net only. The source's own figures are not copied here — they measure a different site, and a number that cannot be checked against our own ledger is not worth printing.

BeamNG.drive on a current build. The repository lists a mod as outdated once it stops loading, but a mod written for an older release can still misbehave quietly rather than fail outright — check the resource page for the author's own compatibility note before reporting a fault.

Nothing else is required unless the author says so above. BeamNG mods are self-contained zip archives; there is no loader or framework to install first.

1. Download the archive with the button on this page. Do NOT unzip it — BeamNG loads mods as zips.

2. Put the zip in your mods folder:

Windows — Documents\BeamNG.drive\\mods

Linux — ~/.local/share/BeamNG.drive//mods

3. Start the game and open the Mod Manager from the main menu to confirm it is listed and active.

4. Vehicles appear in the vehicle selector; maps appear under Freeroam.

UPDATING

Delete the old zip before adding the new one. Two versions of the same mod in the folder is the usual cause of a vehicle appearing twice, or of parts that will not fit together.

IF SOMETHING LOOKS WRONG

Clear the cache: in the Mod Manager, use "Clear cache and restart". Most oddities after an update — missing textures, parts that vanish — are a stale cache rather than a broken mod.
