Backup warning buzzer

OK, I've got one for you electronic techies to figure out for me. The backup sensor alarm starts to beep when you get within 48 inches of an object, then beeps faster until you get real close and it is a solid tone.

Only problem I have is that I can't hear it. My wife can, but I can't....too many years shooting a gun without ear protection and going to stock car races as a kid without ear protection. I have a high frequency hearing loss which means I can't hear high pitched noises like digital watch alarms, certain tones on pagers, cell phones and other electronic beepers/buzzers/alarms that are high pitched including the Toy backup alarm. Trust me...now I wear foam plugs plus muffs when I shoot and I use hearing protection when working in my workshop, mowing the lawn or using a chainsaw. Those of you who blast your stereos at maximum sound levels in your vehicles or attend a lot of indoor rock concerts will know what I'm talking about in a few years.

It looks like there is a buzzer/beeper module that plugs in line. Does anyone know if there is any type of replacement module that puts out a different tone? I'm no electo wizard, so I don't know if this is an off the shelf part or something specially made for Toyota.

Any help would be appreciated.
