How loud is the beep that lets you know the toast is done? Is it a pleasant tone or annoying? Does it only beep once or keep on beeping?

We have been very happy with this toaster! Only one beep, not annoying tho not particularly pleasant - just a beep. I highly recommend .

There are, I believe, 1 quick beeps that are just an alert which I do not find annoying. If you are standing over the toaster waiting for your food you will know when it is done and that part may seem annoying. However, ifyou are multitasking and need to be in another room for a short period of time, I find the beep a helpful reminder.

It's a noticeable beep ( only once ) - you can hear it if not too far away ; I don't find the beep annoying - it's intense, but not shrill.

It beeps only once, but I find the beep much too loud! We live in a small condo and I avoid toasting if someone is asleep. The toaster is beautiful and works well. If only we could lower the decibels...

It is not offensive. It is loud enough to notice and only beeps once. I like it

Not an annoying, loud beep at all. It is a single beep as the toast is rising; it is not continuous or repetitive.

The beeps are not loud or annoying. I think that there are five beeps... after each brew cycle. HINT: I make ten cups each time I brew. Then, I have hot coffee on day one, warm coffee on day two and cool coffee on day 3. One clean-up; that's it!. I microwave to heat up on days 2 and 3. If you add cream after day one to the carafe, then refrigerate after adding the creamer.

I looked quickly at the site on amazon and could not tell if you can. I left mine so I knew when each step was done. I do not think it is especially loud or annoying. Quick beeps to let you know that a process is done or that it did not work properly and need to readjust or do over.

Not that I am aware of, but I have never been bothered by the beeping. It takes an average of 3hrs25min to get through a loaf of bread, so I am generally in another room when it beeps, so I have found the volume very helpful. Also it only has three times it beeps in that entire 3hrs and 25min, so you can hardly say that is excessive.

No, it doesn't beep. I've also found that I need to set lower temperatures than I did using my previous toaster.

The light is always on. When the toast comes up there are two loud beeps. The light is nothing more than a little green dot. I have never felt the need to turn it off.

I've also had this issue...it's very annoying, those loud beeps as soon as you turn it on. I'd love to know if this can be remedied as well!

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.

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, it makes a little beep. You will love this toaster. It is the best I have ever used.

When it plays music on the alarm function, is it music only, or the alarm sound as well? (I have one that simultaneously also beeps while it's on wake with music, I do not want one like that ever again.)

No. It doesn't beep when done. The toast just pops up in usual toaster fashion.

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

It's pretty loud. I can hear it in other rooms as long as there is no real loud back round noise. It beeps for a pretty good while, but not in defitnilty. I was looking for a timer that was close to the one from Pampered Chef. This was as close as I could get. This one though is louder. Hope this helps!

IMPORTANT: For those out there that do not like a loud beep. You can turn it off. It's in the manual. At the same time push and hold the "Toast" & "Bagel" buttons for 5 seconds. This will deactivate the beeping. Unfortunately, it now does not beep at the end of a cooking cycle either. It does beep a lot, but not a huge deal for us. However, if you do have a need for silence, it is easy to turn the beeping off. It's just as easy to turn it back on - hold the toast and bagel buttons again for 5 seconds and it's beeping again. Hope this helps someone out there!

This toaster has a soft, high-pitched "beep" (softer than a microwave). You can hear it if you're in the kitchen; it will not wake anyone up! Remember, the cage stays down until you lift it, does not pop-up, keeping your toast or muffin warm.

It does beep several times--maybe five or 6 consecutively and it is fairly loud but nothing extreme. It does not seem any louder than any other microwave I've had, just beeps a few more times. All other factors about this oven are very good--heats very quickly and evenly, quiet operation, so the beeps do not bother me at all.
