Does this unit beep or just light up? I want to put it beside my bed, but don't want to be woken up if it beeps.

It only beeps when you 1st put the phone on. It does flash between green and red while charging but i have it next to my bed and doesnt bother me

It only beeps when you first put the phone down but the light can be annoying if your room is relatively dark.

It only beeps to confirm a charge connection (when you first set phone on it). Then you don't hear anything. Does have a light on the side that flashes though.

The unit beeps when put in initially to indicate that it is starting to charge. Once it starts charging the unit is silent except for the red and green indicators blinking. One thing I do not know is if there is any indicator alarm beep for charging complete. Like the unit so far.

It beeps upon placing the device on the charger to ensure you know it's charging, but then the light just flashes as it charges. No further beeping.

It beeps once when you put the device on the pad but not at any other time. What it does do is flash a green light while charging. I found that annoying while trying to sleep.

It beeps once when you set your phone on it and it has a light that flashes to indicate that it is charging.

It does beep one time when phone is placed on charger. Its a real soft beep. It flashes red and green while charging.

Both the phone and the charger beep when charging begins. Then the charger flashes a green light while charging.

Sorry, I clicked on the wrong answer. It does not light up, other than the on/off switch. It does make some noise, but is not overly noisy.

Terrence S is right. This model only has beeping noises. If you want the cooler alarm audio options, you need to get a more expensive model(s), and yes the sounds fades in i.e. it starts low and gradually gets louder just as the light starts dim and gradually gets brighter.

I got this and mine made a beeping noise but it wasn't loud at all. Is it defective or ????!

No. I've never heard my beep. It beeps when you plug it in and as you set the timer. I don't use the light feature so I don't know if that makes a difference or not.

The unit comes with a backup battery hookup - just make sure it isn't stored inside and has working AA batteries. The door is supposed to beep when the batteries are starting to get low as well I believe. I have only had it for a few months and cannot verify this, though.

It doesn't light up and it is a very loud beep that sounds for each minute increment that is set and beeps for about a minute when time is reached. I can hear it clear across the house.

I have never heard it beep. I don't think it is supposed to. It just puts the light on in another place. Then after a couple of hours the whole thing goes off, which I appreciate.

My brand new one doesn't seem to beep at all, and the instruction book only says that it will "flash", meaning tiny black things blink on and off, that can barely be seen. I'm very puzzled by this, as previous reviewers said that it beeped. I suppose they changed the model. I note that Amazon's product information only says it gives you "alerts". I assumed that meant audible, but it doesn't actually say so. I hope someone can shed some light on this!

No. It doesn't beep when it turns on or off. Just saw someone else's answer. If it does beep it isn't very loud...I have never heard it.

Beeping happens only when u first place it on to the base, after that there are no more beeping.

Yes. It beeps. Not very loud though. I have not seen anything in the instructions where it can be turned off.

Yes, the unit beeps when is has taken over for a power problem or outage. There is a silence button that stops the beep until the power comes back/ If it goes out again the beep continues until you silence it for a second time. It shouldn't be a problem for you.

It beeps when you plug it in, it beeps when you set it and it beeps when it's done! To my knowledge you cannot adjust the sound level...I too wish you could because the beep is not a pleasant ding, but our family has gotten used to it, so now I don't mind.

Yes, you can set the base unit to beep when there in a new message. The beep is not loud & it's volume cannot be changed, but it's loud enough to heat...

Yes, it continues to beep for 60 seconds after it goes off. As I said in my review I would not buy this again because it has such a short alarm time. If you step outside or go to the garage for something you may not realize it has gone off for several minutes. The other one I have rings for five minutes and also has a countdown screen which continues to count down so you'll know how long ago it went off. Just my thoughts.

No, I have 4 diffrent units and one of them beeps! It's very annoying I know and I wish I could stop it! I'm in the same boat as you with the one unit.
