This would be for someone sitting at a desk. would only want a visual indication. is there a visual indicator? is that what the red window does? can the sound be eliminated by disconnecting a wire to the beeper?

The red section is a light. As the previous answer mentioned, it comes with two switches, one for high and low and one for off and on. In the off position it neither lights up or makes a sound. High is loud enough to be heard all over the house and would be obnoxiously loud sitting on your desk. Low, is much lower, and could be tolerated on a desk, but still, obviously, makes a sound. I took the cover off of mine and there are two wires going to the speaker that could probably be cut to eliminate the sound. They appear to be completely independent of the light. I took pictures of the inside with the cover off, but don't see a way to attach pictures here. If you are willing to post your email here, I will send them to you.

If you are talking about shutting down the sound beep(s) when the door is closing from the monitor or opening from outside, then just press the square push button key with drawing of loudspeaker. Each time you press the button you hear a beep from the unit, from no sound, soft, medium and to loud level. That will set monitor's beep (alarm) to no sound, low, medium or loud. It seems that if you "disable" closing door beep you also "disable" open door beep.In case you want to disable "alarm" from garage opener when the door is closing from monitor, I believe that is not possible because this a safety feature.

It beeps a bit, not that loud ( not as loud as the microwave for example ) I don't think you can turn it off or make it louder.

I do not hear a lot of noise. I have noted as it is on longer. It does not beep.

The carafe is glass. As far as I know there is no way to turn off the beeping. I don't find it annoying since it isn't continuous, just a quick beep to let you know that the coffee is ready, or in response to pushing a button.

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.

I checked the manual and nothing there about beep adjustment or disabling; probably some consumer safety issues with that. The beep is not very intrusive, less than other models we have had.

I don't know if it's the newest or 3rd, but there is no beep. I would suggest pairing the use of either the vibrate or the shock with a verbal correction (do the verbal correction at the same time as you push the button) ... that way you can eventually get rid of the collar and the verbal correction will work alone. But you have to be consistent. We never needed to use the shock. The vibration was enough for my large dogs.

It does stop beeping after a few minutes but not just one minute. I never paid attention to when it stops because then I'd stop it myself. It's very light weight so if you need to do something in another room and think you might get distracted or not hear it beep you can just take it with you and you'll hear when it beeps. I had mine for a few years and was very pleased with it. I just put another battery in but it didn't work anymore. Will order another one.

There's a short beep when you set the controls and a long one when it is done. I don't think there is a volume control - haven't needed one.

I have not found a way to mute the beep. I wish I could because it tends to wake up my wife when I open it on the way to work.

It does not have silent operation mode. It beeps whenever it's being opened.

As the other response indicated, the sound is mechanical, not electronic, so it can't be turned off...but it is not particularly loud--it more sounds like the closing of the electrical contact than a deliberate click. I actually haven't used the keyboard all that much so far, but it seems pretty decent for the price.best wishes, Tom

The beeping is easily heard ("clock radio volume" loud). I bought it to not hear the ticking sound of my old-fashioned timer. Note, there is no volume control. I take the one AAA battery out when not in use to "save" on battery since always "on."

It is a very low beep. I ended going to one of those dollar type stores and purchasing some kitchen timers. There is also a website that has visual timers.

There is no beeping, but it does make a white noise style sound when it operates. As a yogi, I wouldn't find it too loud to operate in, say, a power yoga class. If it was a restorative style class where students expect little noise, some might find it disruptive. I use this in my bedroom at night, and it doesn't keep me from falling asleep. It does heat my room pretty quickly, so you could maybe put it on for a while before the class and then shut it off when the class starts. If you play music during your class, that should mask it. But since part of yoga is about noticing the momentary distractions and letting them fall away, it could be a good exercise for your students!

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....
