How loud is the chime? Does the chime go continuously or only once?

The chime is pretty loud. You can definitely hear it from another room. It chimes only once every time you open the door just to alert you. The alarm though is continuous.

Make sure it lays flat, or has room to lay flat. My windows have a bump so I cant even use mine. The chime is loud enough for an apt or small house, esp if you're a deep sleeper. If you have a house I would recommend either mult of these units or a different system all together.

It does NOT keep beeping until you turn it off. The beeping sound is not loud enough to hear a few rooms away. Mine quit beeping after about a month but it still counts down time.

It typically beeps about every second until you push the stop button. If you just ignore it, it will beep about 20 times and then stop on its own, showing the time you set on the alarm. I find this timer works very well; it survives being knocked down from the stove -- it is durable -- well worth the price.

Chimes - there are more than one sound available. By adjusting the pushing button device, I was always to have the backdoor "chime" and the front door "ding dong." I hope that makes sense. To do this, read the instruction manual about how to set the chimes.

It starts out quiet but you can definitely hear it once it gets hot. But then I stop noticing until it shuts off. It's actually my second one and the first one was louder.

It has two. One sounds like a ding dong chime. The other is really loud klaxon sound. The only issue i had with this was placement if the reciever. It "almost" had to be line of sight. It did work on small objects aka critters the size of house cat setting it off. Which to me is great. That small means it will get the bigger critters too. Was in an apartment and the patio was easy to get to. Thats why i got it and it let me know who or what was out there if i was in another room.

No. After it goes around, the sound changes slightly. It keeps on going, though.

I have not been able to get two chime units to work off single button. Information below appears incorrect. Would appreciate info if someone has found how to do it.

I can only speak for the chime setting because we do not use the alarm. If the batteries are running low the chime won't work all the time, its sporadic. With fresh batteries I have had no issues. When the batteries are running low you get a warning, the chime only plays the first portion of the song, then it makes a low battery beep. This will go on for days or weeks until you replace them. The longer you wait the less reliable the chime is with the old batteries being used.

It makes a loud ding dong sound. Not like a doorbell, but a little bit more harsh than that. It does have a low and high setting so the noise won't be as abrupt. It was still a bit loud for me even on the low setting, so I took a dish cloth and taped it over the place the sound comes out to make it better. It muffles the sound. Hope this helps.

No, it does a long beep once when muted and a short beep once when unmuted.

It is a tube chime but I have found the second chime to be pretty weak. It works well for the front door but if you try to use it for a back door, don't expect to hear it from too far away.

It does "Chirp/Beep" once when activated, and deactivated. The activation/deactivation process 'Chirp/Beep', is a different tone than when the alarm is tripped...

The beep is loud enough to be heard in the next room, but I wouldn't consider it excessive - and I am very noise-averse. (I should have thought to ask that question before I bought it!) I don't use it for anything that produces a reminder beep; I'm not even sure it HAS a reminder beep.

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.

I have had mine for years and years but I can't really answer! I use the alarm sound which will go off ten separate times probably 30 sec. Or so apart. I have had on since around 1978-ish and am only on my second one. I t is set for 4 separate alarms. I love the convenience of being able to grab my alarm and a couple containers when we go to my son's for an overnight. Good size too for the purse don't you agree? If you haven't purchased it yet I suggest you do. Enjoy.

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