We've never tried to stop the sound. It has a high & low volume & the light on that receiver blinks but I don't believe the sound can be turned off & the receiver still get a signal.

You need to push a button. My problem with it is that when you touch it on one of the buttons it beeps. It seems like every time I touch it it beeps if there is someone else in the bed or the room, it will disturb them. I am getting something else.

Kate, I have to amend my answer. I happened to be sitting right next to my difuser this afternoon when it turned off. It did beep. It's a soft enough beep I hadn't heard it before. Even when it's fairly close to the bed during the night, I've never heard it. So, the answer is actually yes. It does beep when it shuts off.

It beeps after the pre-heat and when finished or when you hit the start-stop button.The sound level is not too loud and when finished it beeps five times which is just enough too alert me when I am sitting in the other room watching television.Sorry for the late response.

I'm not really sure I understand the questions, but I will try to answer what I think you are asking. It beeps when someone leaves a message to let you know there is a message left, but it doesn't continue to beep until you get the message off. I have heard machines that continue to beep until you get the message off, this one doesn't do that. I hope that helps :)

When used in conjunction with the receiver it beeps as you get near. The transmitter (what your looking at here) beeps at the same rate. The receiver, not included in this package, beeps faster the closer you get. You can also turn off the receiver beeping allowing you to just hear the transmitter (on the cat) beeping (which might be useful if your friend is looking in the house for the cat). Once you get within a few feet of the cat the receiver does seem to shutoff. It figures you've found the cat. We normally use ours to find the cat outside, but we've also used it to find the cat in the house as well. Hope this helps. When used in conjunction with the receiver it beeps as you get near.

A beep loud enough to alert you and hopefully detour your pet > my cat's stay clear. If your pet remains on the pad it keeps beeping, unless they're deaf they'll leave! I don't have to even turn it on anymore as they know what happened when it was on....

Some don't even know what they are talking about. Don't answer if you're not sure. There are 1 set of buttons on each side of the monitor. One for brightness and the other for volume. If you hit (-) on both brightness and volume at the same time, IR (Infra red night vision) toggles to On/Off/Auto. If you hit both (+), it toggles to On/Off for VOX (auto video shut off after 3 minutes of inactivity). If you hit (+) on volume and (-) on brightness at the same, it turns on and off auto mute. I may have got the IR and auto mute backward but that's how you do it. There's no SINGLE switch or button with which you can manipulate the IR. Some don't even know what they are talking about.

I'm not absolutely sure what you mean by a "warning beep." There is no sound until the timer runs out. Then it beeps constantly for 30 seconds or more until you turn it off.

??? I have never tried, it's not at all annoying to me and serves a purpose. The beeping sound is a response to the manipulatioin of controls, sort of a way of saying, "I am now changing from high to low", or from "Oscillating to static... "

It makes it sound like you work in an office. Normal in my opinion. Also matters how hard you strike the keys but in this case your fingers travel last distance so you often are pressing lighter. As another reviewer mentioned just disable the beep it produces when you hit the wrong combo of keys.

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

I have not found a way. It beeps twice and if you are trying to be quiet, it isn't, but it isn't long beeps and you get used to them. Nice if you have left the room and don't want your toast to get cold. It would be nice to be able to either adjust the volume or turn off.

There is not an indicator sound associated with the color changes. The sound is only at the end of the total time, which is great when it is used in a office meeting.

There is no way that I know of to stop the beeping but... it's only for a few seconds while you set your session. I don't find that annoying at all.... I would rather have the buttons illuminated so I can see them in the dark. I have to have a flashlight beside the chair now so I can see the buttons to set them!

It's silent! But there is a little red light on all the time. You may want to keep it in a discrete area so it does not bother the presenter.

It has a click. I can hear it, but I wouldn't say it's loud. The thing that I like about it is that it has a button that will switch you between the desktop and the tiles screen in Windows 8. You don't have to go to the corners so much.
