Is the beeping from the unit when changing settings or using the remote still obnoxiously loud?

Mine never was and I've owned both the 6k and the 8k. I think that it's overrated in terms of the space it can handle, but the ergonomics are spot on.

Yes, it retains the setting unless you clear it. My problem is the beeper is not loud enough for me. Otherwise, it works great.

No. Agree it's not annoying. It sounds like a standard two-tone chime--ding, dong. I have a rather large home and do not always hear it from the upstairs master bedroom--furthest room from chime.

No and it is annoying that the beep is so low. If I'm not in the kitchen, I set a portable timer.

So I just tested mine and it does beep about 4 times every 10 seconds but it's not too loud or intolerable. Justenough to create a sense of emergency. I sized mine out for 60+ min of Critical Communications runtime but these are really meant to be used for short-term save everything and shut down functionality. You may be able to turn the beeping off but honestly, it's not too obnoxious.

You can adjust the sound level to your personal preference from soft to loud. I wouldn't say loud is blasting but it is certainly sufficient. I have mine on low because it is irritating and I set it so it beeps twice if anyone opens the door as a personal preference.

I haven't found a way to completely silence the beeping when arming the system or upon entering the house to disarm, but if you go to settings and turn the volume all the way down and then save that setting, it will turn the beeping down really low. With the volume all the way down the system will still sound the alarm at a high volume in the event of an unauthorized entry. Hope this helps.

Yes it is loud enough but it hums thru the tv and the remote is not working good.

Yes I believe it will beep even if it is flat in a wallet. I have had my unit working on a remote for the tv for over 3 months now, and even if someone is sitting on it under the couch cover we hear it!!!!. No complaints so far. Car keys don't go missing either. A real time saver.

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!

Not very loud. The beep is not annoying either. I have 4, and each has a different sound.

Yes Donna, there is an irritating little beep after every keystroke. And if you set a countdown time, the beeper annoys you until you shut it off... Exactly what I wanted in a timer... Have two of them pasted to the side of my fridge, and don't know why I ever tried those others... Trust me, simple is better!

I have to respectfully disagree with the comment from NM Norma. Maybe she has an older or different version of this timer. I have a recent version, approximately one month old, and it beeps non-stop until I hit the reset button. I find this to be a very helpful feature. It's also pretty loud, but not TOO loud. I'm not sure if it would be loud enough to be heard from upstairs, especially if there are a lot of other noises in the house, but the great thing is that it has a belt clip so you can simply take it with you wherever you go. :)

It beeps when you're pushing the buttons to set it, when it gets to the temperature set and then when it shuts off. You can not adjust to sound level but I don't find it to be too loud. My microwave is louder.

I don't know if you mean how loud is the unit when it is operating, or how loud is the "beep" that tells you your food is ready, so I'll answer both. When it is operating it is almost silent. The beeps at the end are soft. To my mind they're not loud enough. On a scale of 1 - 5 I'd give them a 2 or 3.

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.

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!
