Question Buzzer when making a hard left...

When I was driving today, I zoned out and almost missed my turn. I was in 5th(2700rpms) gear, and I downshifted to 3rd(1000rpms), and braked(I'm still holding the clutch), I shifted to 2nd(1000-4000-3500rpms), and feathered the clutch to engine brake; and made a wide left turn. I guess at the apex of my turn, a buzzer went off, for like 2 seconds. I didn't redline.

I can make a quick video if need be to help this diagnosis.

*I'm guessing on my rpm numbers, I think they are in the correct.*

Any and all help is appreciated.

I would guess that it would be your oil buzzer. I have had mine go off at autocross even though it was full. The same goes for the coolant. If it sloshes to one side it will set off the buzzers. Probably one of those two.

+1, more likely oil buzzer as it has more sloshing room

OIL level
Note: if your Coolant is Sloshing Around,you better get another engine.(coolant is pressurized at 13psi,it shouldn't SLOSH!).

Probably just low and needs to be topped off. Then it sloshes to one side, the other side gets lower, and the buzzer goes off.

Ok, because I checked my oil while the engine is hot, and it did need a little more, but its about to be the 3rd month, so I'm going to change my fluids. I was originally thinking that it was the power-steering, but in my research, that is a "bing", not a buzzer.

Thanks!!

I now see why it is REALLY IMPORTANT to check ones oil level everytime he/she fills up on gas. Even though I feel like I'm causing attention, it benefits us.

It's not terribly bad for it to be a little low, the buzzer just thinks it's lower than it is and
