It is the responsibility of the captain of the vessel to ensure that it can be detected when sailing in fog- nowadays this is mostly done by GPS and by the use of radio communication, but the skipper of a sailing vessel in foggy conditions should also use a foghorn of some kind, be it a hand-held horn powered by compressed air, or a more sophisticated electrical or pneumatic type that is installed on the vessel itself. There is no set type of audio signal to alert other mariners that a sailing vessel is in the vicinity- Morse Code is no longer used and most modern sailors don't understand it, so it would just be a general foghorn note.

What sound signal should you hear when a power boat is in fog?
The sound signal that you should hear when a power boat is in the fog is one prolonged blast at intervals of no more than 2 minutes.
What sound signal should you hear when a sailboat is underway in fog?
One prolonged blast plus two short blasts every two minutes. Explanation: Sound signals let other boaters know where you are located during periods of restricted visibility, such as extreme fog. If you hear the fog signal of a vessel you cannot see, slow to a minimum speed until you are sure there is not a risk of collision. One prolonged blast plus two short blasts at intervals of not more than two minutes is the signal used by sailing vessels.

Does a signal generator generate sound waves?
It depends on the frequency range of the signal generator. Obviously, you won't hear radio waves.
Where is the turn signal relay on a 1999 Mitsubishi eclipse?
It is behind the radio. So you will need to take out your center console and radio to get to it. It should be a little black box. If your turn signal still make a clicking sound, you can put your ear near it and hear the clicking sound.

What is the meaning of sound?
Sound is a pressure wave in air or water at a frequency that can be captured and converted by the ear into a signal that can be perceived. Sound is anything that you can hear (if you have "normal" hearing). I may be seen as the same as noise.
