Does this device make a "beep" sound when taking a sample? If so, is there a way to disable it?

No it doesn't make any noises. It just has a laser beam when you press it. Works great for me.

Yes there is no audible beeps or chirps, or anything like that. In both its functional and non-functional state this device does not generate noise.

It makes no beeping sounds. When you press the controls (like on-off, or to turn temp up or down) the button responds with a soft click. It is not annoying--just lets you know that you have pressed.hard enough to be sensed. I turn it on in the morning to make coffee and hear nothing--I have to notice temp and/or when light goes out to know it's ready.

It's silent until it rings a few-second tone indicating the brewing is done. As far as I can tell, there is no way to turn that off. Mine does not beep on 15-minute intervals as mentioned in another answer, so there may be some differences between versions. The noise is not very loud, though, and isn't really noticeable.

The first time I used it I did get a beep, but the second ( last ) time I used it I noticed also that there was no beep?! So I just had to try to time it and "peek" when I thought they were done. Sorry that I'm not much help! Same problem here....but I do think I'm making the best waffles I've made and can do a lot quickly when I have visitors.

The other reviews are misleading. Yes, it does initially beep, both when scrolling through menus and when recording and stopping the recording. However, I found this tedious; if they bother you, too, you can quickly disable all sounds in the main menu. An orange light still flashes while recording, so found the beeping unnecessary.

No, I don't think it even has a beep. I never hear it while doing ANY activities.

Know what I will have to look at mine. I simlpy haven't paid attention to that. Now I have a question for you. Do you know how to make it stop beeping all the time when there is nothing wrong? Perhaps the room temp is going outside of the perameters established. hahaha. I'll get back with you asap,Steph

You can right click your sound, &gt; Recording devices then right click the "USB MIC" and click disable. Also make sure to plug it in the back of ur pc or the person you're in a call with will hear beeping.

I got this and mine made a beeping noise but it wasn't loud at all. Is it defective or ????!

I have not experienced this issue as of yet. The documentation included stated that when the battery starts to get low it will beep to inform you of the low battery and to change it. If you miss the warnings and the battery goes dead on you, the unit comes with a key that will open the it manually. If you look at the picture of the front of the unit, there is a small tag next to the big dial (Lock) you will need to unscrew one of the screws holding the tag and the key slot is behind the tag. As a side note, I love this unit and if you follow the instructions to program your biometrics, you will have no problems with recording your prints and it will not open to anyone not recorded as authorized to open it. It works great! Good Luck!

I stand corrected, I did not ever hear or notice the beep before now. Sorry if my previous answer led to confusion.

No it doesn't beep when it's done. The water heating/brew cycle is fairly loud.

Hi Elizabeth.... One of the things I like most about this camera is that it is very easy to change settings. For me, the menus are very intuitive and that would include the menu for turning off the focus beep. When you go into the settings menu, go to "D" and scroll to the last screen of D and you will find the sound on focusing setting. Set to "off" and you are good to go.

I use this at night and I am usually asleep when it stops. I don't hear the beep. I hope someone else is able to answer your question. Pam

What was the solution? I have the same problem with mine (sort of). It beeps, but so faintly that you have to put your ear right up next to the camera body to hear it. I did figure out where it eminates from; I took the lens off and set it to timed shutter release (so that I could here it beeping continuosly, and it comes from inside the camera behind the mirror. Is yours audible now, or just barely faintly beeping?
