It's called the speed gong, and you have to have the OBC functioning to have it.

It's a useless option, mainly because you can't hear it unless you're actually watching your speed and listening for it... if you're doing that, what do you need it for? Plus, it only 'gongs' once, it's not like it stays going until you drop below the threshold. Seems the engineers just wanted to load up the OBC with as many features as they could, useless or not. Too bad they didn't make it an ET clock instead.
