1) Does it have silent opening or are there "beeps?" 2) if there are beeps, can they be turned on/off?

I dont believe the beeps can be shut off. I am very happy with the safe and the sound of the beep is very faint.

It beeps when done and at 15 minute intervals then beeps when it shuts itself off. You can't shut off the noise but I don't find it too distracting. I have a small home and don't even hear it outside the living room area.

The fan is pretty loud when it starts up. Then quitens down. You can still hear it though. And it doea beep once when you turn it off. Hope this helps.

Yes.... That was the first thing I did... The beep could easily wake my son up.... So silent mode is way better. Hope this can help...

It beeps when you push the buttons and when it's preheated and when it's done. I don't know how you would make the noise lower or frankly why it's such a big deal. It's certainly not a deal breaker for me. I don't mind because it beeps as an alert. You will hear it and isn't that the point? :)

Yes, they do make a mild beeping noise when you press-to-set. Only audible within the room that you are using it IMO. Personally, it's the best timer that I have ever used.

Yes and yes. It makes a small beep when you turn the screen off. Just hit the power button to put it into sleep mode. The volume is fully adjustable. We are extremely happy with our unit.

My experience is that it only beeps when time is up. And if you want to shut the lights off, it shuts all sound off entirely too. That said, I love this clock. Durable with a clear display.

It beeps 3 times. And yes, it's quite loud. If you don't open the door after the 3 beeps the unit beeps 1 time every minute or so until you open the door.

No beeps or sounds are made when you turn it on or when it goes off. To turn it on, you give it a tap with your foot and the display will come on. It goes off by itself.

It beeps when you turn it on. It beeps while taking your temperature (the ENTIRE time) and then beeps three series of rapid beeps at the end. The beeps aren't insanely loud, but if you're an an otherwise quiet room, they seem loud. Especially in the morning. My husband said, "Why wouldn't a sleeping person wake up to that? It sounds like an alarm clock". And he's right. The company that finally makes a completely silent BBT thermometer with a screen that simply lights up when it's done taking the temp is going to make a ton of money!

The deck and motor are very quiet, but there is an audible beep when you interact with the console, or if it shuts itself down due to a timeout (if you get off, etc.). I haven't investigated to see if there's a way to adjust the beep volume or silence it.

It beeps when you plug it in, it beeps when you set it and it beeps when it's done! To my knowledge you cannot adjust the sound level...I too wish you could because the beep is not a pleasant ding, but our family has gotten used to it, so now I don't mind.

Yes, it has a beep that starts several minutes after it's left open. You might not hear it in another part of the house.

It beeps when you plug it in / turn it on, and when you're flipping through to get to the temperature you want. It also beeps when it reaches that temperature. The beeps are not loud & obnoxious, though...they're very quiet. The only other sound you'll hear is the sound of the water beginning to boil.

Yes, all beeps can be turned off, so you hear nothing but the actual voice come through when you are receiving. Pressing the buttons to send will also not make a noise - just the mechanical click of the switch, which is not very loud.

From what I gather the tones were louder in the past. This is very quiet--you can't even hear it in another room. I don't think you can actually turn the "It's Done" tones off--they beep five times, but very faintly. With the BrewCentral DC 1200 if you turn the unit off while it was beeping it would silence the alarm; this unit will finish its beeping once started, even if you turn it off, unless you turn it off before the beeping starts, but as I say, it's very faint.
