does this beep or whistle when the water has reached the programmed temp?

No, but if you are in the same room you can hear it cycle off - while it is heating there is a boiling/simmering sound from the water. The LED switches from displaying the current temperature of the water to oscillating between the target temperature and the time remaining in the hour countdown.

This kettle doesn't make any alert sound when it reaches the programmed temperature.

no beep our whistle; it simply holds the temp and begins an hour countdown when 212 degrees.

No, it does not. It stays hot for sixty minutes after it heats up though, so I don't usually miss the window.

Mine would beep it the water level was low. If your is filled to the proper level and there is no mist, then I think that you have a defective mister.

No beep, no ding-dong, no buzz. It's not completely silent however. As the last of the cold water is heated and pulsed out there are a few bursts of steam you can use as a signal it is over except for the final drips thru the grounds. Be sure you wait for that final drip thru before pouring your first cup. By the way, that 5 cup capacity translates into two coffee mugs. Perfect for me but might not be enough for others.

When its low on water it will beep, like when its done. It waw confusing sometimes because I thought the food was done but it didnt blend, thats when I knew that the water level was low.

It doesn't whistle. The unit makes a noise (something like a grumble) while heating & you can hear it click off when it's reached a boil. I'll admit I originally wanted a whistle, but in the grand scheme of things it wasn't a must-have feature. Our stove-top kettle whistles, but the Vitesses uses so much less energy because it's so fast, rather than turning a gas range on numerous times in the day; you really don't have to wait long enough to need a whistle. By the time I turn it on, get out the tea cup & bag, the water's ready!

Yes, the alarm continues to sound until you acknowledge. However, be careful to re-enable the alarm when the temperature is restored.

It does not beep or actively remind you to drink. I do love mine - I'm not a great water drinker and bought it to help me. I do like the immediate feedback it gives.

Yes, it beeps a couple times. And later it beeps when the warmer turns off.

No, it beep only when it reach preset temp. Preset that the fabricant decide! I bought this for maple syrop, and the alarm is useless... I use it like a simple digital thermo... without alarm!

It does not beep. I have never thought of its need. A good thing about thermo is the coffee stays freshly brewed.

It does NOT whistle. There is a small hole in the lid with no other apparent purpose, and I tried to get it to whistle (simply out of curiosity, because I don't need it), but no sound. Otherwise a solid & useful kettle.

The boiling is audible, but it is literally the sound of water boiling, the unit itself is almost silent. The unit does not whistle. There is an LED light that is illuminated a purple color when the unit is working, and it turns off when the water is at boiling point.

It just beeps if it's too hot or cold. It stops when you take it out of the water.

No beeping. Also does not seem flimsy. It took awhile for me to figure out how to aim the water to fill it because the opening is really thin. At first I used a funnel, but now I can fill it perfectly without a funnel.

It does not beep., however you will hear a CLICK when a new program mode kicks in

The one I have doesn't beep. It does make an little 'click' sound when the thermostat is controlling the heat, but I don't think you can shut it off.

No. There is one short very high pitched beep at the end of the timer period. Hard to hear and only occurs once. Better to use an external timer.
