Question Blink Problem

Today when I turned on the left blink, I found the frequency of the light and "click" sound doubled, that is the indication light on dash board blinked more quickly and the interval between the indication sound of blink became much shorter. There was no such problem with the right blink. What's the problem and how to fix it? Thanks!

One of the turn signal bulbs on left side is burned out. Turn on the left signal get out of the car and check, either the front or the rear bulb will be out. Change the bulb and you'll be good.

I checked the left front bulb and rear bulb and found that the rear bulb is normal while the front bulb is rather dim. Probably the front bulb is the cause the problem. I will buy a new bulb and change it to see the result.
