Tomtom - changing alert sounds

[MO!]

My dad's getting a bit fed up of the BONG!!!!! noise when approaching a speed/safety camera.

Anyone know how to change it to perhaps a voice?

I ony seem to be able to find how to turn it off, rather than change it.

Edit: It's a tomtom one if that's important.

long time since i did it but on my go the speed cameras are just generic points of interest and have a sound assigned to them just reassign the sound for that poi.
if this isn;t the case with the one try turnign them off and then dl ing a speedcamera poi database and set up your own sounds.
iirc the sound format on the go is ogg.

1. Tap the screen to bring up the main menu.
2. Tap Change preferences.
3. Tap Manage POIs.
4. Tap Warn when near POI.
5. Select the category of POI you want to be warned about.
Select the category from the list or start to type the name of the category
and select it when it is shown in the list.
6. Set how close the POI should be when you receive a warning.
7. Choose the warning sound for the category of POI you selected.
