Does it sing loudly after it finishes boiling water?

depends on how you define "loudly", i would say not that annoying, sometimes may sound pleasant.

For me it sings (Plays) a nice Walts Melody but I believe you can change it to something else.

The pots definitely whistle. I've never boiled water in the pans, but since the pans have the identical lid handle I imagine that they would if you were boiling water in them.

I believe it makes a loud popping sound as it is cooling off. I take mine off the burner I was cooking in and move it to another to cool. It mentions not to put it in water after cooking.

I've found that if I don't fill it with much water, say I only want two cups, it doesn't whistle as loudly as when I fill it with lots of water. Be careful not to overfill it or it can overflow when it boils and put a gas flame out, leaving gas escaping in the house. That happened to me once. :?

It absolutely does not whistle as it does not let out any steam after the pressure has risen. That's one reason why foods cook about three times faster--all steam is contained. I'm very happy with mine, and I've purchased 3 more for relatives.

I find it loud enough, but it's not piercing (I've had that type.) Should be heard in the next room, but not if folks wander too far. Something to remember is that usually the steam whistles will not produce sound once the water has boiled away. It's a pain - I let my last kettle cook away because I had put it on with the whistle spout in the "up" position. (Kettle base was so hot that it popped the seal at its edge.) You can't do that with this one: the whistle is down and in place unless your hand is on the handle pressing the release.

YES! It is quiet, and I rarely hear it boil. If you are going to keep it in your office, plz consider the dimensions to be certain that it will fit where you need it to. I LOVE mine; I use it for jump starting rice, pasta, etc., as well as a cup of tea. It has 3 temps to chose from; I fill it up late every night before I go to bed and turn it on the lowest setting. In the morning, I go reset it to high and press "reboil," while I brush my teeth. I highly recommend this item.

I'm sorry, I can't help you here. I don't remember anything about the whistle nor the sound level of the boiling. My concern was with the manner of showing the temperature of the water; it didn't fit my needs.

No it's pretty quiet - doesn't whistle or anything like that. It's definitely quieter than my last kettle and boils quicker, too.

Yes, it beeps and goes into Keep Warm after cooking. It also has an Off button. The other cycles are really useful, too. I really like this cooker. Just don't bother with the frittata recipe; it will keep turning itself off, which is frustrating. Use the recipe in an electric skillet or on the stovetop.

It makes some boiling sound, kind of a white noise sort of thing. I don't find it bothersome at all.

Yes, it makes a modest noise, similar to boiling water in an ordinary saucepan on an electric range. The noise is not at all objectionable in my opinion. Also, a few seconds after the water comes to a rolling boil there is an audible "click" when the thermostat cuts off the heating element. I use my kettle several times each week to make hot tea. I find it very handy and recommend it without reservation

It is pretty loud when it is brewing but does not make any noise after that. It takes about an hour to brew 100 cups and then it is quiet. It makes random thud noises while brewing.

Hi, its really no louder than a normal kettle. There is a beep when it hits the set temp. Here is a vid on it. Also I have been using it for over a year now. I like it.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qGJI5T0AKMw

You definitely hear the water work up to a boil. There's no whistle. The unit shuts itself off automatocally with a loud click after the water reaches a boil.

Towards the end of heating the water the noise goes up noticably, but just for ten seconds or so. Downside to the noise is everyone knows you have it and wants to use it...

No. After reaching the boiling point it automaticslly switches off as do all the electric kettles I have experienced.
