Is there a "beep" when the timer shuts the fan off? (another Holmes fan that we have does that, and it's very annoying - wakes us back up)

Not one peep out of this fantastic fan! It's the best I've experienced yet. You won't regret it.

Yes...it has a 30 minute/1hr/2hr/4hr/and I guess a 7.5hr timer. I dont use the timer. The beep is semi-loud...but not to the point where its annoying. Not sure if it would wake someone up or not. Its the best fan for the money...powerful!

I've only ever noticed one mildly annoying beep, and that's when they go into sleep mode. If that's what you mean, it's still there as of the new set I got in October 2014.

The fan runs (if it works) when the heat is on. it has different settings (hi,low,economy and temp setting.) i don't remember if it had fan only but most usually do just check the box before you buy. however i do not recommend buying it as mine wouldn't turn on other than the power light and the word hi on the read out. please read my review as i have had nothing but problems with Holmes products.

No beeps or annoying clicks. Compared to my prior heater it is very quite but you can still hear it run. If you set it at a particular temperature all night it will cycle on and off so this may (?) bother him. Hope this helps.

The question was about the beeping when powering it on or off, not when you loose power. My unit beeps too when powering it on or off. However, the beeps that mine makes are not loud. Perhaps I have an older or newer model. I have not seen anything in the settings that allow the beep volume to be changed.

When it is on the fan is running. That is the only noise to be heard, The noise will go away when the burner is turned off. I don't seem to mind the sound.

It beeps when it's done brewing. I don't think it can be turned off... you get used to it.

No warning beep, but when time is up, you definitely can hear the beeping. I find that mine beeps for up to 1 minute beyond the set time before shutting off.

When it is functioning correctly, it simply beeps when time is up. Optionally, one can set the unit to be silent and/or optionally blink the user lights when time is up. Warning: this unit uses a cheap wiring inside which leads to the unit eventually resetting itself after moderate use. I have two of them, and they both have the same problem, so I don't recommend it.

No, there is no fan that runs when off. I have this in my bedroom as well, and when on, I don't hear a thing. Also, not sure if this in relevant for you, but some people say there is an audible "buzz" sound that comes from the tv when it's on. I do not notice a buzz except for when I have the image retention scrolling bar feature on. It seems to buzz when there are large amounts of white on the screen. The TV itself is amazing.

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? :)

I believe it only beeps if the unit has detected a surge. Once the surge clears and the unit is functioning properly, it should not continue beeping. The 3 units that I have do not continuously beep as you describe and there have been several brownouts in my neighborhood. Make sure you see a green light under the red one. If not, there's no surge protection and that could be why its beeping. I would contact Customer Service and verify that you didn't receive a bad unit.

I have never heard it beep. I don't think it is supposed to. It just puts the light on in another place. Then after a couple of hours the whole thing goes off, which I appreciate.

Not anywhere as loud as three different ones we owned. The timer beep is a bit loud and sounds off five times when the cooking is finished and I can hear it two rooms away. When my wife is still sleeping I press the door opener at the one second mark and it only beeps once. Then I hit the stop button to end all. I can't hear the microwave when it is running when I'm two rooms away. So I would say it is fairly low in sound output, but not truly silent. Also when I'm in the kitchen using my laptop the modem doesn't work. ie; when runnning the microwave affects the computer in a negative way. Not anywhere as loud as three different ones we owned.

yes, it makes a beeping sound you would here on a wristwatch when it reaches an hour, or the sound certain irons make when plugged in... both when plugged in an when unplugged

It beeps and turns off when it's getting low...mine hasn't ever run out completely. Also it says will go for up to 45 hours. That is obviously on the lowest setting. I run mine from 11pm to about 10am on medium setting so I make sure to fill it the next night before hand or it will stop midway through my sleep. Hope this helps...
